A school for migrants
The 'Chemin des Dunes' is not your average school. Nestled in the middle of a migrant camp in Calais and staffed by local volunteers, it's the result of a partnership between a French speech therapist - Virginie Tiberghien - and a Nigerian migrant - Zimarco Jones. One of the reasons it was started was to give migrants who decided to stay in France a helping hand with the language. But, as our reporter Tomos Morgan discovered, the timetable was slightly more unusual than anticipated.
