Refugee Week

The British Red Cross has developed resources for 7-14 year-olds to help learners increase their knowledge and build their understanding of what life can be like for refugees and asylum seekers. The resource was created for Refugee Week, but can be used at any time of the year. Help learners to build empathy, increase understanding and celebrate the contributions, creativity and resilience of refugees. Activities are differentiated for primary and secondary learners and include discussion questions, a walking debate, creative activities and video case studies. Key facts and terms are included for educators, along with guidance of how to manage discussions sensitively.
