Migration of People

Headlines about the ‘immigration crisis’ continue to dominate the media. But do your students understand what this means in reality?

This resource:

explores the various reasons that lead people to migrate
unpacks the differences between refugees, asylum seekers and other migrants
examines key pieces of legislation to see what rights migrants have in national and international law
analyses a number of real life case studies
