Migration project in Global Education

Global Education is a discrete curriculum taught to year 9 students for 1 hour a week, more information on which is available here: Global Education Overview

“How does where we live shape our attitudes towards migration?” 

This year, students have explored migration in both our local community and in the contexts of our partner schools in Lebanon and Nepal. Through shared research, discussion and collaboration, they developed a deeper understanding of how migration shapes people’s lives and how perceptions differ across countries.

Working with peers abroad encouraged students to reflect critically on where prejudices originate, how bias can appear in media, and how ethnic groups are represented in different societies. These reflections directly support SDG 10: Reduced Inequalities by helping students recognise inequality and challenge stereotypes, and SDG 16: Peace, Justice and Strong Institutions through promoting informed, respectful dialogue about migration.

The project also strengthened global partnerships and cultural understanding, contributing to SDG 17: Partnerships for the Goals. Students from all three nations collaborated to produce a shared E‑book, which you can find at the bottom of this page. This final product showcases their collective learning, creativity and commitment to building a more inclusive and globally aware community.

UK students worked in groups to analyse and present the articles they studied from the UK media

Students from Lebanon and Nepal did the same with their local headlines and articles. This a particularly important with the Lebanese rhetoric also being mainly negative while in Kathmandu migration is an economic necessity and advantage.
