Learning outcomes
This training will cover:
Explaining labels (Migrant / Immigrant/Illegal Immigrant/Asylum seeker/Refugee and UASC)
Why young people flee their homes and what decisions they must make on their journeys.
Communication / cultural awareness
A brief overview of the asylum system
Plus a time for questions and sharing experience.
We offer a training that includes a variety of different activities, to keep people engaged, throughout.
The learning objectives would be to gain an increased understanding and empathy and to see how the young persons past experience and hopes and fears for the future will impact most areas of their present and give us ideas of how to better support them.
