What schools can do to mark World
Refugee Day
Hold a special class on refugee issues and
incorporate the topic into your regular lesson plans. You
could:
- Invite a speaker
- borrow a video from UNHCR
- put up a display or posters on refugees
- use our resources for teachers to stimulate class discussion
Run an essay or art competition on a refugee
theme.
Host a fundraising event (such as a fun run)
for Australia for UNHCR or have gold coin donation day
at school to support UNHCR’s work helping 19 million
people around the world.
Order WRD materials from UNHCR to display
at school or in your community.
Please let us know what you plan to organise
so we can share it with other schools. Email us at aulcapi@unhcr.org
