This unit of four lessons uses stories and videos to illustrate the life of refugees. We compare refugees in World War II to refugees today, and design a way to support a local refugee individual/organization.
Young people learn what it is like to be a refugee through pictures, video, and stories. They build empathy and do an activity that simulates choices refugees must make.
