Use these free migration and refugee teaching resources to promote compassion, informed discussion, and an understanding of the challenges faced by refugees and migrants around the world.

Use our free teaching resources to help young people challenge assumptions about migrants, asylum seekers and refugees, and to develop mutual respect, empathy and understanding. Our activities for teaching about refugees and human migration lesson plans are suitable for Geography, Citizenship and PSHE.

Use our guide for how to teach others about refugees and migrants, including: 

  • what causes people to leave their homes and what their experiences are like
  • the meaning of the terms asylum seekers, migrants and refugees
  • what makes us who we are and how we can understand and celebrate our differences.
