The following resources are from the British Red Cross. We had one of their presenters come to deliver the sessions.
This teaching resource is designed to help young people gain a better understanding of the humanitarian impact of the refugee crisis. Activities build learners’ empathy for the real people affected by the crisis and encourage young people to consider the difference a welcome could make to someone seeking asylum and refuge.
Helpful definition to build understanding of key words around refugee crisis.
