activities to promote self-esteem and resilience in children from a diverse community, including asylum seekers and refugees

Refugee children have often experienced great disruption, violence and fear. They have frequently lost family members and may even have witnessed the deaths of relatives or friends. They have left everything that is familiar and found themselves depositied in a completely different, strange and sometimes frightening environment. Following the publication of New in our Nation, a resource for older students, this book has been written to provide a similar resource for younger pupils.
