Publications

*New publication* The importance of contact - children's attitudes to refugees

An interim evaluation report was produced in early 2010, covering the initial phase of the project's development and delivery in schools. The report can be downloaded in summary and in full.

Understanding Difference: How working with refugees can help your school. This guidance illustrates how working with refugees can be linked with the curriculum, foster good relations between communities and help children understand why people seek asylum. Our work with many schools, through Refugees into Schools, provides an effective challenge to myths and negative stereoypes about refugees.

 Engaging with Schools: A guide for refugee community organisations. This guidance supports refugee community organisations to build effective relationshipswith local schools. It provides ideas for activities that could be delivered together, including those that raise awareness of why people become refugees.

Other Employability Forum publications and resources can be found here.
