STAND WITH REFUGEES (7-14 years) The following images are for use with the Exploring images activity ideas. Use the images in slides 2 to 6 with learners aged 7-11 years, and the images in slides 6 to 12 with learners aged 11-14 years. Slide 6 is suitable for use with both age groups and helps learners to appreciate that people are displaced everywhere in the world. Although richer countries are better able to support people when crises strike (and more people have insurance for their homes and possessions), the pain of being forced to leave your home is still there. Note: The activity ideas in this resource are intended to support your teaching rather than guide it. Therefore, no detailed background information has been provided, and additional teaching may be required to develop learners’ knowledge, skills and understanding of some key concepts. There are suggested web links and further teaching resources provided in the Teaching ideas section.

Image info: Every day, the shores of the small Greek island of Lesbos see the arrival of boats coming from Turkey carrying refugees or migrants, who are fleeing war or poverty. After paying traffickers sums of around €1,000 per person (€800 for the over-60s or in bad weather), they risk their lives on a dangerous journey with no guarantees. With life jackets of dubious quality, they set sail with no idea about steering, often at night and in adverse weather conditions. Some are fortunate enough to land on beaches where groups of volunteers from across Europe are waiting for them, while others arrive at empty, inhospitable cliffs. Photo credit: Pablo Tosco/Oxfam
