ASYLUM SEEKER & REFUGEES ISSUES –international focus

Global Citizen SW has worked directly with asylum seekers and refugees 
in Cornwall and in Tibet-in-exile, India.
 The workshop(s) presents a factual and investigative over-view of the 
current asylum situation in the UK. 
Using the medium of role play and drama, the session(s) empowers students 
to consider the role of media in forming popular opinions and 
the effects discrimination has on the lives of 
asylum seekers and refugees.
