Abstract :
The multicultural school of Athens is a school of refugee students. When entering the school, the majority of our students do not speak Greek. Communication is a great obstacle; we found animation a valuable tool for communicating ideas, concepts, principles and behavior. These animations are learning objects organized in a wiki-based library assuring their mobility.
