About Course
SOAS University of LondonDescription
Help learners understand where, why, and how migration happens
There have been urgent recent calls for curricula to address issues of migration. Yet 78% of British teachers asked by the Runnymede Trust said they needed more support “to equip them to teach migration more sensitively and effectively.”
On this course, teachers can develop their skills to explain where and why migration happens. You’ll learn how to interpret big data sets, examining migration research through video and learning activities.
You’ll also explore creative methods of storytelling, visual arts, and design to humanise migration stories through arts and empathic learning.
What topics will you cover?
- Developing teachers’ capacities and skills to access big data sets and contemporary research by providing the guidance, tools, and experience through video and learning activities delivered online
- Sharing and shaping understanding of the role of creative methods of storytelling, visual arts, and design to humanise migrant stories through creative and empathic learning
- Exploring the combined importance of both data-led evidence and arts to tackle global challenges such as migration, inequality, and development
- Equipping learners with skills in critical thinking, data, independent investigation, and understanding reliability of sources
