Schools Programme

Children and young adults have often not yet fully formed their opinions around issues of displaced people - views that, once formed, may stay with them for a lifetime. So Migrant Help has developed a School Programme to support you in challenging the mindset of young people in the UK and promoting positive discussion around these issues.

By visiting schools and delivering workshops and assemblies, the programme aims to dispel myths and encourage thought and discussion around how to be more welcoming to people from outside of the UK. The interactive, engaging workshops can be tailored to an individual school’s needs and to a range of ages. From our initial outreach, we have had excellent feedback and hope to move into the new school year working with as many schools as possible, to create a more welcoming environment for all.

We also have resources that will help make schools more welcoming for students arriving from other countries, including UK School system guides for students and parents in home languages, school signage and fundraising packs.
