Our teaching resources help illustrate the difficulties refugees face from the moment they flee their homes, to the time they have adapted to a new home, or have been able to safely return home.
They also bring awareness to the notion of difference and the importance of welcoming new people. Teaching children about the plight of others empowers them to become global citizens and contribute to a brighter future for all.
