More about this course
  • There have been urgent recent calls for curricula to address issues of migration. Yet 78% of British teachers asked by the Runnymede Trust said they needed more support 'to equip them to teach migration more sensitively and effectively'.
  • On this course, teachers can develop their skills to explain where and why migration happens. You'll learn how to interpret big data sets, examining migration research through video and learning activities.
  • You'll also explore creative methods of storytelling, visual arts, and design to humanize migration stories through arts and empathic learning.
