3Positive Images Toolkit. Educator’s guide – Introduction

IntroductionThe educator’s guide is a set of ten educational activities for teachers, youth workers and other educators to teach young people about migration and development. The activities are most suitable for young people, aged 12 and over.

By the end of the activities young people should:> Have enhanced knowledge of the humanitarian aspect of migration.> Have greater awareness of development and the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs).> Have a greater understanding of migration.> Be able to recognise different points of view on migration in the media. > Be better able to relate issues of migration and development to themselves and their communities. > Be empowered to take action on migration and development.

4Positive Images Toolkit. Educator’s guide – How to use the educator’s guide

The Positive Images educator’s guide is the core component of the Positive Images toolkit package. It includes ten educational activities based around the following themes:

1. Why do people migrate?2. Who are migrants?3. Migration patterns and journeys4. Positive images

Each theme consists of up to four educational activities, each activity lasting about one hour. Activities can be taught in a sequence, gradually progressing into more in depth explorations of the issues.

Activities can also be delivered on their own or in combination with other activities, depending on students’ needs.

The educator’s guide includes guidance to support young people in taking action. These are practical activities that young people can do related to migration or development that enable them through their community to make a difference to global issues. Taking action should be preceded by learning about migration and development. Educators can use activities in this resource to facilitate learning and then enable young people to take action independently or with an educator’s support, depending on the age and ability of the students.

The take action worksheets at the end of each theme in the educator’s guide include suggestions for actions. The inspire me! sections of the worksheets include real life case studies of actions that young people have taken. They aim to inspire young people and spark ideas of what they could do. The action planning worksheets at the end of the educator’s guide is a set of six steps that can support young people to plan their action projects.

The Positive Images toolkit includes the following additional resources, that accompany the educator’s guide:

1. Four films. Each film is no more than four minutes long. They are provided to help bring the issues to life, with people’s real experiences of migration. The films are linked to the activities in the educator’s guide, with one film per theme. Prompts of where and how to use the films can be found in each activity. The worksheets in the educator’s guide include transcripts of each film to assist if audio-visual equipment is not available.

2. PowerPoint slides. These accompany each activity and are structured to support each step of the activity. Prompts of where and how to use the PowerPoint slides can be found in each activity.

5Positive Images Toolkit. Educator’s guide – What do I need to consider?

What do I need to consider?Creating a safe environment Discussing migration can lead to lively debates. The educator can help to create a safe environment for young people to express their opinions and test their ideas. It is also important that an environment is created where everyone feels comfortable to work as part of the group.

You can do this by creating a group contract with the students at the start of the activities. You can support young people to develop a set of ground rules on how they want to work together and create a comfortable working environment for everyone. If discussion falters or becomes too lively you can draw students back to these rules. Below is an example of a set of rules.

Example ground rules:> Participation is the key and makes things more interesting!> Everyone has the right to express their opinion and ask questions.> We will own our feelings and be sensitive to those of others.> Everyone agrees to respect others talking, asking questions and expressing their opinion.> If we do not agree with what someone has said, we can challenge this in a respectful and constructive way. > We agree to challenge the behaviour, not the person.

Awareness of migrant children in the groupThink about whether any of your students are likely to be affected by the topics in the activities. If this may be an issue, talk with the students about the activity content beforehand. They can be given the opportunity not to be present as well as the opportunity to prepare to talk about their experience if they would like to.

Be sensitive to the needs of all in the group before introducing a discussion. Remember that migrant children may have experienced trauma in their home country and they may have seen members of their family injured, killed or arrested. Such events cannot easily be discussed in classroom settings.

Migrant children may not want to talk about their circumstances because they might feel it could affect their chances of staying in the country, it’s too traumatic or because they do not want to feel different from other children.

Making sure migrant children feel secure, while raising awareness of the circumstances that have brought them to this country is vital. Popular misconceptions should be challenged to enable all the young people to develop as positive global humanitarian citizens. Ensure that the activities chosen are sensitive to the needs of migrant children whilst still addressing the issues.

6Positive Images Toolkit. Educator’s guide – Definitions

DefinitionsThe following definitions are provided for the educator’s reference. Young people have the opportunity to explore definitions through individual activities. Some definitions have been deliberately simplified for a young audience.

An asylum seeker is someone who has left their home country and applied for recognition as a refugee in another country and is waiting for a decision on their application.(Source: Adapted from a definition cited in the UNESCO glossary on migration www.unesco.org/shs/migration/glossary).

Development is a process through which countries change over time. It can be defined in different ways. The International Federation of Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies defines development as the process by which communities, families and individuals grow stronger, can enjoy fuller and more productive lives and become less vulnerable. (Source: www.ifrc.org/docs/pubs/who/policies/developmentpolicyen.pdf) The United Nations have developed a way of measuring development by looking at three basic factors which include life expectancy, or the average age people live to, education and income. (Source: Human Development Index http://hdr.undp.org/en/statistics/hdi/)

A developed country can be defined as a country that has a relatively high level of development, based on various factors.

A developing country can be defined as a country that has a relatively low level of development, based on various factors.

Emigration is the act of leaving one’s own country to settle permanently in another.

Forced migration refers to the movements of refugees and internally displaced people (those displaced by conflicts) as well as people displaced by natural or environmental disasters, chemical or nuclear disasters, famine, or development projects. (Source: Definition promoted by the International Association for the Study of Forced Migration (IASFM) and cited on Forced Migration Online www.forcedmigration.org/whatisfm.htm).

Immigration is the action of coming to live in the long term in a foreign country.

Irregular migrant is someone who does not hold the required legal status or travel documents to enter or remain in a country.

Labour migrant is someone who migrates for the purposes of employment. The term economic migration is sometimes used interchangeably with labour migration. However economic migration is broader and can encompass migration for the purposes of improving quality of life in social and economic terms.

Migrants are people who leave or flee their home to go to new places to seek opportunities or safer and better prospects. The term migrant therefore is broad and can include asylum seekers, refugees, internally displaced people, migrant workers and irregular migrants. (Source: International Federation of Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies (2009) Policy on Migration www.ifrc.org/Docs/pubs/who/policies/migration-policy-en.pdf).

Migration is the movement of people from one place to another. Migration can happen within the same country or between countries. The term migration is different to tourism, as migration is generally used when people go to a new place to settle or live in the longer term and when they create significant ties to the new place. (Source: Adapted from a definition of migration cited in UNESCO Glossary www.unesco.org).

Migrant worker. A person who is in paid employment in a country where they are not a national. (Source: Adapted from a definition cited in Art. 2 (1), International Convention on the Protection of the Rights of All Migrant Workers and Members of Their Families, 1990, www.un.org/documents/ga/res/45/a45r158.htm)

Millennium development goals. In September 2000, the United Nations Millennium Declaration was made. This brought together the largest gathering of world leaders in history (189 countries) and they agreed eight goals to tackle poverty. These were called the Millennium Development Goals and are known the MDGs. These are a set of targets to reduce extreme poverty by all the nations that were present committing to a global partnership. The target for the achievement of the goals is 2015. (Source: www.un.org/millenniumgoals/).

Persecution is when someone is treated badly because of who they are. It may be because of their race, religion, nationality, because they belong to a particular social group or their political opinion.

Poverty can be defined in many different ways. Income poverty can be defined living on less than $1.25 a day. (Source: World Bank: www.worldbank.org/)

Human poverty can be defined as a short life, a lack of basic education and a lack of access to resources such as transport, housing, electricity, water and so on.(Source: United Nations Development Programme http://hdr.undp.org/en/statistics/indices/hpi/)

Push and pull factors: Push factors are things that make people want to leave their homes and pull factors are things that attract them to new places.

A refugee is a person who has left their home country because they are afraid of being persecuted. As a result they cannot seek protection from their home country. (Source: Adapted from the definition in the 1951 Refugee Convention www.unhcr.org).

Worksheet 2: Film 1 transcript Activity 1: Why do people migrate?

Activity 5: Who are migrants?

Why do people migrate?

“Would you leave your home if it would save your life?”

“Would you leave if another country offered a better life for your family?”

“Would you leave your home if you were being persecuted?”

“Would you move to another country if you couldn’t find work?”

“Would you leave everything behind, all your friends, all your family, all your belongings, everything you played with, everything that you grew up with?”

(Sajwaa) “I left Iraq in 2006 with my three children due to the escalated situation back there. There was a civil war in Iraq and due to my background and my husband’s, we were subject to persecution and threats by different parties”.

(Shakeeb) “I left India in search of more experience and because I wanted to get more exposure in my job; I wanted to learn about different cuisine and I had always heard about Europe; that there’s more work and better working environments, more job security and that people are more accepting of people from other parts of the world”.

(Alain) “I left Congo because of political problems. In our country especially things are not going well; people are starving every day, students are not going to school, there’s no freedom, you can’t even express yourself and I thought that if I went back to that country I would die, or maybe be persecuted”.

(Ines) “My name is Ines, I come from Portugal, and I came to the UK because of work. At the time it was not as bad as it is now, but I still couldn’t find any sort of work for two years. For some time I was doing temporary jobs and these started to become fewer and fewer until I had nothing”.

(Priyanga) “I came here simply for a better life. My parents and I, we left Sri Lanka when I was twelve years old, and we had to flee the country because civil war had broken loose, and the lives of both my parents were in danger. When we came to the UK it was the year 2000 and several locations – asylum applications – were originally rejected and we had to keep putting in fresh claims”.

“What is it that would make you leave your own home, what is it that would make you leave everything you have, all your friends, all your family, everything that you own and go to a different country?”

Worksheet 4: Would you leave home role play cards

An elderly man or woman

You have a lot of difficulty with walking and receive a lot of help and support with every day activities from your neighbours.

A doctor

You are the only doctor in your community and run a very busy clinic. You have a brother who lives in a neighbouring country, who has been encouraging you to go and live with him.

A young man or woman

You are a student. You think that a good education is your key to a better future and have heard that there are good universities abroad. However your parents are in poor health and you are hesitant to leave them behind.

A farmer

You have a small farm and sell your crops to your community to make a living. You don’t earn much money from this and struggle to get by.

A teacher

You are a teacher in the local primary school and have lived in the area for a number of years. You know the parents and children from the school very well and are a respected member of the community.

A mother or father with two young children

You are a single parent with two nursery age children. You do not have any relatives in the area and struggle to survive as you are unable to work.

Worksheet 5: News bulletin

You are a journalist for a newspaper. Your role is to read out one of the news bulletins below to the rest of the group. The rest of the group will take on different characters in the community. They will be asked to make decisions about whether or not to leave home, based on the news.

> Select one of the two news bulletins below> Before the activity take time to read and understand the news> During the activity read each part of the news bulletin separately. Allow time for students to decide whether or not they will leave home, based on what they have heard, before you move on to the next part.

News bulletin 1: Conflict

Part 1 There has been on-going fighting between two groups in the community. Although fighting remains localized, there have been increasing outbreaks of violence in recent weeks. People are afraid and are staying indoors as much as possible. Some people have temporarily moved to other parts of the country to stay with family or friends.

Part 2 Fighting is becoming increasingly widespread. The army has been sent on to the streets to keep order. The authorities have advised civilians against going to certain parts of the country. Some hospitals and schools have closed down due to staff shortages, as doctors and teachers are moving away to other parts of the country where it is safer.

Part 3 In recent weeks the unrest seems to be under control and gradually more people are venturing outside. The marketplace last weekend was busier than it’s been for months. Some people who moved away are gradually returning home. However others feel the situation remains unsafe. Last night there was a large explosion in the capital and the causes of this are still unclear.

News bulletin 2: Poverty

Part 1People living in our small farming village are facing increasing poverty. Economic instability as well as crop failure year after year has hit the community hard. Other than farming, there are very few jobs. Many young people are moving away to find jobs elsewhere. Several of the people who have found work aboard are writing home that they are making more money than they would at home.

Part 2 The economy of the country is undergoing a prolonged downturn and many fear the situation will not improve in the short term. Basic goods are becoming increasingly expensive. The future looks bleak as many young people and skilled professionals move away in search of better fortunes elsewhere, often leaving behind young children and the elderly. Some people from the village who have found work abroad are sending money back and this is providing vital support to their families.

Part 3 After months of hardship, the first signs of economic recovery are on the horizon. Where shops a few months ago were all closed in the main square, new businesses are appearing. Some people who made money aboard and have now returned home. They have invested in a new college, the graduates of which it is hoped will bring new life to the village.

Term

Refugee

Asylum seeker

Migrant worker

Definition

a. A person who is in paid employment in a country where they are not a national.

b. A person who has left their home country because they are afraid of being persecuted or badly treated because of their race, religion, nationality, because they belong to a particular social group, or because of their political opinion.

Worksheet 13: Film 2 transcript Activity 5: Who are migrants?

Who are migrants? (Glenda) “I’m not an asylum seeker, I’m a migrant worker, I came here for work legally”.

(Sajwaa) “I’m not an economic migrant, I’m a refugee. The government has agreed to let me stay legally in the country because I was persecuted in my country”.

(Ebrahim) “I’m not a refugee but I’m an asylum seeker which means the government hasn’t decided whether to accept me as a refugee or not”.

(Priyanga) “I’m a refugee”.

(Shakeeb) “I’m a migrant worker”.

“An asylum seeker is just a status, but beyond an asylum seeker there’s a person”.

(Glenda) “I’m a nurse, I’m a Filipino, I’m a hard worker, and I am very good and very friendly”.

(Sajwaa) “I’m a teacher, I’m a mother of three. All three of my children study, and I am your neighbour”.

(Ines) “I am a woman. Like every woman in the world I am a daughter, a sister, a mother, worker. I’m resilient, I’m passionate and I smile when I’m nervous!”

Worksheet 14: A poem by Wondimu Mekonnen

I am an asylum seeker, On the run from bondage; Unwelcome ‘trouble maker’, Undesirable package. In the homeland a rebellion, In the host-land a nuisance; Gone down to my oblivion, Hanging out in suspense. I am an illegal entity, Nobody cares to know; Stripped of liberty, Pushed aside taboo low; Wasted talent lost wisdom, Barred by an invisible wall, Restricted freedom Dehumanised soul In an asylum seeker’s Ghetto, Facing up the reality, Surviving incognito; Concealing my identity.

Worksheet 16: Take action on migration!

Take action!

> Celebrate World Refugee Day and International Migrants Day. The United Nations has designated special days each year to celebrate and raise awareness of global issues. UN World Refugee Day is on 20 June each year and International Migrants Day on 18 December each year. Get involved in community events to celebrate and raise awareness of the unique experiences and contributions of refugees and migrants to your community.

Useful links: www.un.org/en/events/refugeeday/ www.un.org/en/events/migrantsday/

> Arrange for a migrant or a charity supporting migrants to deliver a talk in your school or youth group. Contact a local charity in your area supporting people who have migrated and ask them to deliver a talk and share stories, to help raise awareness of migration.

Inspire me!

Creative print making

What did they do?

> A youth group invited a young person who was an asylum seeker to share her story with them of seeking refuge and the truth of the hardships she faced.

> The young people then, supported by a local artist, used print making techniques to illustrate what they learnt from the story. Young people based the images they created on a one word response to their new understanding of seeking asylum.

> The images were displayed in a touring exhibition of local libraries in the surrounding area.

What did the artist say?

“This project has given young people the valuable opportunity to expand their understanding of what it is really like to seek asylum and why some people need refuge. This work has enabled the young people to formulate and express their views on what is a complex topic from a standpoint of accurate knowledge”, (artist Tim Smith).

Inspire me!

Fashion parade

What did they do?

> A youth group created costumes with a 1950s theme, reflecting the date that the 1951 Refugee Convention was created.

> The clothes used fabrics from different countries and reflected key messages from the Refugee Convention.

> They performed a fashion show parade in central London to celebrate World Refugee Day.

Inspire me!

Local action, global issue

What did they do?

> A group of young people worked together to create a short message and an image promoting acceptance and understanding towards migrants.

> They uploaded the message and image to their Face book profile and sent it to their friends on International Migrants Day on 18 December. It reached 10,000 people!

What did they say?

“I spread a message of tolerance towards migrants through Face book to let young people know about our campaign” (young volunteer).

Worksheet 18: Answer sheet for educators

1. 3 per cent of the world’s population are migrants, or 214 million people of a total world population of 6.8 billion (World Migration Report, IOM 2010 http://publications.iom.int/bookstore/free/WMR_2010_ENGLISH.pdf)

2. 8.7 per cent of Europe’s population are migrants (World Migration Report, IOM 2010 http://publications.iom.int/bookstore/free/WMR_2010_ENGLISH.pdf)

3. There were 11 million refugees in the world in 2010 (Global Trends 2010, UNHCR www.unhcr.org/4dfa11499.html)

4. Most refuges come from Afghanistan (3 million). Iraqis are the second largest refugee group, with 1.7 million people. Afghan and Iraqi refugees account fornearly half of the world’s refugees(Global Trends 2010, UNHCR www.unhcr.org/4dfa11499.html)

5. In neighbouring countries. Three quarters or 75 per cent of the world’srefugees live in neighbouring countries (Global Trends 2010, UNHCR www.unhcr.org/4dfa11499.html).

6. Pakistan hosted the largest number of refugees worldwide (1.9 million) in 2010, followed by the Islamic Republic of Iran (1.1 million) and the Syrian Arab Republic (1 million), (Global Trends 2010, UNHCR www.unhcr.org/4dfa11499.html).

7. a. False. 80 per cent of refugees are in developing countries Global Trends 2010, UNHCR www.unhcr.org/4dfa11499.html). b. False. The numbers have fallen in the last ten years (UNHCR 2010, www.unhcr.org/4d8c622c9.html) c. True (UNHCR 2010, www.unhcr.org/4d8c622c9.html) d. True. The money that migrants send back home, which is called remittances, to developing countries is three times as much ($325 billion) as the money donated to developing countries in foreign aid. This demonstrates the importance of migration for development (World Migration Report, IOM 2010 http://publications.iom.int/bookstore/free/WMR_2010_ENGLISH.pdf)

Worksheet 19: Film 3 transcript Activity 7: What do people face on their journeys?

Migrant Journeys

“Given the opportunity I don’t think that anyone would want leave their country.”

“It was terrible to leave my family behind.”

“The best part is just to be in a secure country where people are free to say what they want to say.”

(Sajwaa) “We had to leave Iraq without telling anyone. During the journey, on the road to the Syrian-Iraqi border there was an American tank in front of our car. First of all the soldier on that tank waved a red flag, so we stopped. And then, after a while, the same soldier raised an orange flag. This orange flag should logically be interpreted as get ready, just like the traffic lights, but the driver who was driving the car started going forward. That was a really life threatening move because at that minute the tank opposite us started shooting towards our car”.

(Ebrahim) “I’m Iranian-Kurdish. I had political problems in my country and one day I had to leave the country very urgently. We spoke to the driver and then we had to go to the back of the lorry. There was a space in the middle so we went in so that it looked like we disappeared, no one could see us if they opened the door. Sometimes the lorry stopped and the driver said “I want to have a rest” and then he’d sleep for about ten hours and then we’d start moving again. But when I came out from the lorry I didn’t know where I was. I asked the driver, he said “it’s the UK”. I just wanted to go somewhere safe, I couldn’t even speak English, I was very hungry, I hadn’t slept for about four or five days”.

(Glenda) “I left the Philippines in January 2002 and we were in a group, about fourteen of us. When we reached Paris I said to my friend “Can you pinch me?” I couldn’t believe I was there!”

(Rex) “I was really nervous because my English wasn’t good at the time so communication was a bit of a problem when I first got here. Before my wife arrived I used to eat fish and chips!”

(Priyanga) “It was very hard to make friends at the start. They wouldn’t talk to you because you were different and if they were seen talking to you they would be different and they were conscious about that”.

(Ines) “I don’t know if you know but in Portugal there are also a lot of migrants. We create an opinion when we are in our own country, looking at migrants, but coming here you can imagine that my perspective changed a lot. I can see and understand the reasons why people do it and how fragile those people are, simply because they are not in the place that works the way they know it. They can’t see people they know every day. Now when I go to Portugal, whereas before I had huge prejudice towards the migrants there, now I look at them and I just wish them the best luck”.

Worksheet 20: Photo activity

Discuss in your groups:

> Who are the people in the photos?> Where might they have come from?> How did they get there?> What may have happened?> What clues do the images give us about the conditions they have been through before reaching the beach?> What do you think their lives may have been like before?

The British Red Cross would like to thank Arturo Rodriguez for kindly allowing us to use his photographs in this education resource. The photos must only be used in conjunction with this resource.

Worksheet 21: Fode Camara’s story

Fode Camara is a 41 year old father of three from Guinea-Bissau in Africa. He travelled by sea from Africa on a Patera, a small, open fishing boat across 100 kilometres to Spain’s Canary Islands to flee from poverty and war.

“We set off at five in the morning and by seven that evening we were in Spain,” he recalls.

It is estimated that 1,200 migrants died at sea between November 2005 and April 2006 trying to reach Spain from Africa.

On land, Red Cross volunteers provided water and hot food, medical care, blankets, hygiene kits, clothes and free telephone calls.

“These people are not criminals,” says Jaime Bará Viñas of the Spanish Red Cross.“Many of them are just youngsters looking for a better future.”

Fode Camara has learnt Spanish since he arrived at the Canary Islands and would like to work to give his family, which he hasn’t seen for seven years, a better life. However he is not allowed to work as he is not legally a citizen in Spain and he cannot afford to return to his home country. The government cannot return Fode to Guinea-Bassau as Spain does not have an agreement with them on returning migrants. He is stuck in a very difficult situation.

Simplified from ‘Deadly passage’, an article by Alex Wynter published in 2006 in the Magazine of the International Red Cross and Red Crescent. http://www.redcross.int/EN/mag/magazine2006_2/12-14.html

You are 15 years old and you have grown up in a small village in this country and have many family and friends nearby. You and your family have lived in the area for most of your life. Your parents are both successful in their jobs and last year your family could afford to move into a larger home. You are doing well at school and you get on well with the teachers.

You particularly enjoy playing sport and you are part of the local football team. You have never travelled to another country. One of your friends recently moved to Canada with his family and has invited you to visit him.

Melissa

You are 17 years old. Your parents are from India and they moved to this country when you were two years old. You do not have many memories of India. You sometimes visit India with your parents which you enjoy. However you don’t feel the same attachment to India as your parents, as you have spent most of your life in this country. You live in an area of town where there are many families from different countries and cultures. The shops sell food and clothes from many different parts of the world. You are doing well at school and have many friends. Most of your friends and children in your school are from diverse cultures.

Sarah

You are 16 years old and you are from this country, although you have only lived here for part of your life. Your father works for an international company so you and your family have lived in different countries over the years. You can speak several languages. You have many friends from different countries. You enjoy making friends with people from different parts of the world. You have been going to a school in your neighbourhood for many years, where your brother and sister also go. You are good at school although you find it a little boring.

Max

You are 14 years old and have come here with your family from Poland a few months ago. Life in Poland was hard as your father could not find a job for many years and it was difficult to afford the basics to live.

Your father came here first and after he found work you were able to join him. Both your parents work hard. You joined a local school in the middle of the school year and have been finding it hard as its quite different to your school in Poland. You are taking extra classes to learn the language as well. You’ve made new friends but you sense that some of the other children in the school are hostile towards you, although you’re not sure why.

Eliza

You are 11 years old and arrived here with your mother 6 months ago. In your home country, Sudan, you helped your family with farming. Your mother took you away because there was a civil war in your country. You don’t know what’s happened to the rest of your family. Your mother seems very anxious about whether or not you can stay in this new country. You hope you can stay. You didn’t speak the language in your new country when you arrived but you’ve been trying hard to learn. You love going to school although you are still finding it hard to communicate in another language. You have made friends with some other girls from Sudan in your neighbourhood.

Abdul

You are 16 years old and arrived here with your older brother two years ago. It took you a year to travel here from Afghanistan and it was a very difficult journey. Your father is a doctor and he paid people to take you to safety. You don’t know what’s happened to him. You travelled through different countries to get here and you’re good at picking up new languages. You also easily get along with people from different countries and you quickly fit in. You enjoy going to a local youth group where you can meet other people your age from different cultures and do various activities together such as cooking and traditional dancing. As you’ missed a year of school, you are struggling a little at school. Your aspiration is some day to be a doctor like your father and to work in countries that have been affected by war.

50Positive Images Toolkit. Educator’s guide – Theme 3: Migration patterns and journeys

Worksheet 23: Take action on migration journeys!

Take action!

> Research migration journeys to your country or area. You can use facts as well as people’s stories of migration. Create an interactive exhibition for students to experience what the journey and arrival in a new country might be like for people who migrate.

> Research stories of people who have migrated to your country or area and create a piece of art expressing your response to their stories. For example select one of the stories from film 3: migrant journeys. Think of one word to describe your thoughts or feeling in response to the story. Create a piece of artwork based on this word and exhibit this in your school to raise awareness to other young people about migrant journeys.

> Meet students in your school or youth group who are speakers of other languages or are from other countries. Work together on a creative display celebrating cultural diversity.

Inspire me!

Life in a different country

What did they do?

> A group of young people from the Young Saheliya youth group gathered stories of people’s migration to Scotland.

> They worked with a visual artist to create an artistic response to what they learnt.

> They exhibited their work at a multi-cultural event at North Edinburgh Arts.

What did they say?

“I now know more about why people migrate and what they go through in their own countries”, (young person).

“I thought it was amazing to learn about migration as I knew nothing about it! I thought it was really fun to do the art. I really enjoyed telling people about what we had learned and to write their stories on the wall“, (young person).

Worksheet 23: Take action on migration journeys!

Inspire me!

Journey through a conflict zone

What did they do?

> After learning about migrant journeys, a group of young people created an interactive exhibition in their school. The exhibition enabled other students to experience what it might feel like to be forced to flee your home during a conflict.

> The exhibition included art work, films and games created by young people.

> Visitors to the exhibition had to go through a prison cell, pack their bags in one minute, complete forms in a foreign language and go through border control.

What did they say?

“The students were really excited to share what they had learnt with the rest of the school” (teacher).

Inspire me!

Welcome wall

What did they do?

> A group of young people met with other students in their school who were foreign language speakers and were learning the local language. They talked with the students to learn about their nationalities and languages.

> The students then worked together to produce word panels of the word ‘Welcome’ in each of the languages represented in the school.

> They created a large wall display in the main assembly hall.

Worksheet 27: Film 4 transcript Activity 10: Positive Images

Positive Images

“If you come here you’re going to need to get a job, support yourself, contribute!”

“Why is it Europe’s responsibility to care for all the immigrants?”

“I’ve read in the papers that there are loads of illegal immigrants.”

“Crime is rising in my country. Today I read in the paper that immigrants are responsible.”

“Why don’t you integrate and adopt our culture when you come here?”

(Sajwaa) “Migrants can contribute to the society. I am a mother of three, I am a teacher, and I work for Neighbourhood Watch to secure a safer and cleaner place where I live”.

(Priyanga) “Most migrants who come from their respective countries are qualified professionals anyway”.

(Shakeeb) “I’m a trained professional.I’m a chef”.

(Rex) “I’m working as a nurse now”.

(Ebrahim) “I’m a student, I study business and I also work as a volunteer, as a peer befriender for the Red Cross, and I also work for the refugee council as a volunteer”.

(Glenda) “I am recruited by an agency because the UK advertise their need for nurses because they have a shortage of professionals like me”.

(Shakeeb) “I work hard, I pay my taxes, I contribute to society”. “Hopefully once my status has been sorted I’m looking forward to going to university or college to finish my education and achieve my dreams”.

(Ines) “Immigrants definitely bring a lot of benefit, cultural benefit, educational benefit, definitely economical benefit”.

(Priyanga) “My future aspirations are to do my masters at the local tropical school of medicine to specialise in parasitology and to go overseas to developing countries and work in developing countries, hopefully, to improve people’s lives and save people’s lives”.

(Ines) “These people should be respected for the bravery of going abroad, speaking another language, having to do a job that they haven’t trained for all their lives. Having to come abroad means that these people change their ways, the lifeplan they’ve had since childhood is a different one now”.

Do we need labels?

What did they do? > A group of young people organised a multicultural celebration event in their school, called ‘One Holyrood, Many Cultures’.

> Students ran interactive and creative workshops for younger students in their school.

> They created a wall display in the shape of a parrot, where students could write on the feathers their answer to the question ‘should people have labels and why?’ The parrot challenged the analogy that a parrot only repeats what it hears.

What did they say?

“It made me realize that people base their assumptions on refugees on very little knowledge,”(young participant).

71Positive Images Toolkit. Educator’s guide – Acknowledgements

AcknowledgementsThe Positive Images toolkit is the culmination of three years work. Many of the activities in the toolkit have been developed, tested and adapted by staff and volunteers working with Red Cross National Societies across Europe. Red Cross National Societies that have contributed to the creation of this resource include the Austrian Youth, Belgium, British, Bulgarian, Cyprus, Danish, Hellenic, Irish, Latvian, Malta, Netherlands, Portuguese, Romanian and Swedish Red Cross National Societies.

The Positive Images toolkit has been produced as part of the Positive Images project. This was an EC funded project, running between 2009 and 2011 and led by the British Red Cross. It aimed to promote positive attitudes among young people towards vulnerable migrants, raise awareness of development issues and enable exchange of learning across the EU.
