The Schools of Sanctuary Kent project aims at raising awareness amongst primary and secondary school pupils on the issues surrounding migration, asylum and refugees. 

​

We run free interactive workshops for all ages in school to create an opportunity for pupils to engage with current affairs in a safe and supportive manner.

​

 The website offers free, easily accessible resources, ideas and lesson plans for pupils and staff to:

• learn about migration and refugees in the classroom.

• embed concepts of welcome in school polices and procedures, providing simple steps to take to make sure new arrivals feel welcomed and supported at school.

• share the learning within the wider community, creating a welcoming and inclusive 'school of sanctuary'.

 

The Schools of Sanctuary Kent Project is delivered by Samphire- a charity based in Dover that works to create a society which is inclusive and compassionate towards migrants.
