    3. Split into eight groups, with each discussing one of the images.

    4. Why do you think the child who drew the picture included these things in his or her picture?

    5. Does your selected picture describe an experience the child artist has lived through, or is it a picture about his or her current living conditions?

    6. How do you feel while looking at the refugees' pictures?

    PART I

     

    Instructions:

     

    1. Begin the class with review questions; Why do people leave their home countries? Why do refugees in particular leave their home countries?

    2. After the revision questions, the students are each given a copy of the Activity Sheet Refugees: Who, Where and Why? to complete. This can be done individually and then verbally checked, or it can be done as a class exercise.

    WORK SHEET

    LGBTI PERSONS ARE AMONG THE MOST AT RISK SYRIAN REFUGEES. Most individuals flee their home countries and seek protection abroad. LGBTI individuals may be under a continuous threat of human rights abuses due to discriminatory laws and hostile societal attitudes in their countries of asylum
