Controversial Issue. Compelling Learning.
A toolkit to bring alive the teaching & learning of migration
The Stimulus
The Migration Conundrum exists to bring clarity, balance, humanity and practical ideas
to the controversial issue of migration, enabling teachers and learners to investigate and debate with confidence and choose how
they can make a difference.
the Aim
We’ve broken everything down into eight key ‘lenses’ enabling you to investigate the
Migration Conundrum. Use them flexibly, depending on your
curriculum, student needs, or current events.Think of the lenses as ingredients...
the exact recipe is down to you!
the Concept
People – real-life case studies of migrantsPedagogy – compelling learning activities, tools & steps
Players – background on key groupsPositions – where the key groups stand
Processes – how migration worksPast – a history of migration
Proof – an evidence bankPraxis – a toolkit to help young people take action
the Lenses
PeopleReal-life case studies of real migrants, bringing to life the
reasons for migration and highlighting lifestyles led by migrants based on their treatment by key players in the
UK.
PedagogyAn activity bank for use inside and outside of classrooms,
including compelling learning experiences (role plays, simulations & thought experiments), tools to help address issues, and small step activities to help break it all down.
PlayersProfiles of key players in the migration debate – including the major political parties, immigration-focused political
parties, key public bodies and non-governmental organisations
Positions
Where key players stand on key questions in the Migration Conundrum, such as ‘should there be a limit on immigration?’, ‘how long does someone have to be in the
UK before they can cal it home?’...
Processes
Tools to help clarify and unpick how the rules and systems governing migration work – including the asylum system, migration from inside the EU and the rest of the
world.
ProofSimple and straightforward evidence enabling students to
distinguish fact from fiction as they work out the migration conundrum.
PastMigration in its historical context, with particular focus on the UK’s 300-year history of providing sanctuary to those
in need, famous refugees and the contributions of migrant communities to the UK.
Praxis
A toolkit to help schools take action on issues, plus examples of schools who have already done so.
