It is as important as ever that students understand the experience of refugees and asylum seekers. Our resources support you and your students to reflect on the journeys people make, identity, media representation and human rights and needs.

Our teacher’s notes and image gallery provide starting points for discussions with your class about what being a refugee means to them. This can be followed by one or more of our five activities.

Each activity has a different theme and provides step-by-step instructions. You could use one, or all five. Some are more complex than others: have a look and see what’s right for your class.

All the activities lead to outputs ideal for display, which allows opportunities for whole school awareness-raising or marking of Refugee Week or World Refugee Day(opens in new window).
