About
This video explores the theme of migration through a number of tasks including group discussions and hot-seating. The video is split into 3 sections with pause points for reflection and group activities.
Students should be encouraged to make notes throughout.
Part 1 of the video explores bee migration and the ways in which each colony protects itself from intruders and links to group discussion and hot-seating activity.
Part 2 of the video starts to look at human migration and introduces students to linked terminology. Students are asked to discuss migration and find 5 reasons that someone might move to another country.
The last section of the video asks students to think about refugees and the reasons they may need to move to another country. It includes a short film by Counterpoints Arts to aid discussion.
