Activity+3

 a) Make a detailed list of the advantages and disadvantages of the international obligations for Australia

b) Write a one page diary entry from the perspective of a 16 year old refugee who has just arrived into Australia In this reflection, discuss the type of conflict in the homeland, discuss the journey out of their country, discuss the means of travel and the journey to Australia, discuss any issues that you think a 16 year old refugee might have when trying to settle in to Australian life.

c) Write a half page letter to a student in a refugee camp Visit the site of 'Taking it global' http://www.tigweb.org/themes/refugees/ to see how this organisation works. This site promotes youth action for refugees and is concerned with social justice issues for young people. Through this site our class can develop a connection with students in refugee camps around the world.

How will you connect with their life? How will you empathise with their position? What advice could you give a refugee student?
