Students will learn about the role of the UN Refugee Agency (UNHCR), including its mandate and its dedication to ensuring refugees' human rights as outlined in the Universal Declaration of Human Rights. Through videos, posters, internet, and poetry and other text, students will gain understanding about the plight of refugees worldwide and the work of UNHCR. They will also develop deeper insight into the refugee experience through critical and creative thinking and will participate in activities that will encourage them to empathize with those who face the distinct struggles of a refugee and other forcibly displaced persons.
