Poetry, music, drawings, and personal testimony convey the flight of political refugees and the quest for economic opportunities. We Left Because We Had To. The Refugee Council. A beautifully presented resource curriculum for secondary schools that provides an overview of refugee issues, historical context, and special focus on regions of great refugee concentrations and the events that caused them. Although one chapter is specific to refugee policies and services in the United Kingdom, the book is otherwise entirely adaptable for general use.
Activities are innovative and accessible to a number of subject areas.
