The right to protection from persecution and conflict is established in international law. But many refugees in the UK are often forced to live apart from their families and loved ones.

These resources enable young people to learn about the lives and experiences of refugees in the UK and lead a campaign calling on young people to write persuasive messages to their MP.

• Use personal case studies to learn about the legal barriers refugees face in the UK.
• Teach others and raise awareness of refugee family reunion in your school community.
• Lead a campaign to send persuasive messages to your MP.

The topic guide includes useful information about the impact of the war in Ukraine, refugee family reunion and the Families Together campaign. Group leaders should read this guide first

The PowerPoint presentation explains the Families Together campaign with striking photographs and statistics from around the world. The text may be adapted for different audiences and presenters

The learning workshop uses role play to explore the stories of people who have been forced to flee.

These four case studies provide evidence to complete the learning workshop

The action guide helps young people to put learning into action and run a successful Families Together campaign

The MP letter template may be adapted and sent to your MP to describe your campaign and call for action. For more information see the action guide.

The postcard message template may be used by individual young people to write short message to send to your MP. For more information see the action guide.
