Primary schools

Our In Search of Safety program gives primary school students a valuable insight into forced migration and why people seek asylum.

Each session runs for 90 minutes and includes:

• A pre-presentation activity for teachers to gauge students’ existing understanding of forced migration
• An overview of why people seek safety and the challenges they face in Australia 
• An engaging role-play activity that allows students to walk in the shoes of someone seeking asylum
• Individuals’ experiences of seeking safety  and the challenges they faced in settlement
• An evaluation activity for teachers to assess shifts in students’ knowledge and perceptions.
