Forced to flee: Children on the move - a teaching resource
This pack includes an in-depth look at displacement, taking a global perspective to examine the reasons why people leave their homes. This information is complemented by children’s stories and lesson plans for primary and secondary classes.
There are many reasons why people have to leave home. We will be hearing stories from children who have had to leave home because:
-
Conflict has broken out and people are at risk of being hurt.
-
Climate change has led to droughts or floods that can make it impossible to stay.
-
Natural disasters have destroyed homes and livelihoods.
-
Poverty is forcing people to leave in order to survive.
