Seeking Safety

Seeking Safety is an Amnesty International UK human rights resource on asylum and refugee issues.

It encourages students to draw parallels with their own lives. Many of the activities build on an empathetic understanding of situations to develop knowledge and skills for approaching the subject of asylum. Pupils are encouraged to expand their understanding beyond themselves: to think globally and to think about human rights.

It can be used in stand-alone lessons or in projects.
