The educational kit consists of a video (approximately 67 minutes) and a teacher's guide (75 pages) and is aimed at increasing the awareness of secondary school students on the plight of young refugees in Africa and elsewhere.

Among the refugee population, young people (defined here as 10-18 years old) are among the most vulnerable. Not only do they face the difficulties all refugees encounter, but they are also subjected to particular hardships because of their young age and specific vulnerability. Separation, exploitation, abuse and violence, exposure to HIV/AIDS, military recruitment, and access to education are some of the dire challenges they have to meet.

The video features seven stories, each focusing on a key problem through the testimony of a young refugee. The teacher's guide builds on these stories and contains photos, facts and figures, and maps. It includes a variety of pre- and post-viewing activities relating directly to the video.

To Feel at Home was developed in association with the European Commission as part of UNHCR's public awareness campaign on the integration of refugees in the European Union. The teacher's guide accompanies a 50-minute video.

The kit aims to raise awareness about the settlement of refugees in Europe and explores concepts such as human rights, social responsibility and justice. This educational package is aimed at 14 -18 year olds and focuses on stories of seven young refugees living in three European countries.

The objective is to help develop empathy towards refugees who have been forced to flee their homes and to suggest ways that young people can work towards the integration of refugees in their local communities.

There are refugees in virtually every country in the world and they are often in the headlines. Yet the reality of refugees' lives is frequently misunderstood. It is crucial to help students understand this important contemporary issue.

This teaching kit was developed in 1998 to mark the 50th anniversary of the proclamation of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights. It was designed to help teachers prepare lessons which demonstrate the relationship between refugee protection and human rights.

The kit includes posters and articles to prompt class discussion as well as teaching plans for three school levels: ages 9-11; 12-14 & 15-18.
