Lesson details
Key learning points
- Migration is when people move between places and across borders. Some migrants need support when living in a new place.
- All migrants need the basics, like shelter, but other kinds of support can depend on why they moved.
- Refugees and asylum seekers have rights under international law and are helped by government, charities and communities.
- Even migrants who choose to move still need support, for example, social support, language or schooling and work advice.
- Supporting migrants allows them to share their skills and get involved in society.
Keywords
Migration - the movement of people from one place to another, for example, moving from one country to another
Support - to provide someone with care, advice or encouragement, especially when they are facing a problem or challenge
Asylum seeker - someone who has left their home country and is now living in a different country, seeking protection so they don't have to return to their home country
Refugee - a person who has been forced to leave their home due to a well-founded fear of being persecuted
Common misconception
Only asylum seekers need support when they move to a new country.
All migrants may need support. Refugees often flee danger and need urgent help, but even those who move for work, study or family benefit from language classes, job advice and community events to settle in and feel part of their new home.
