Films

These short films, co-produced with those who have migrated to the UK under the age of 18, draw on initial oral history interviews supplemented by additional filming, for example on return visits to child migrants' first home, refugee camp or school in the UK. They use photographs, artwork and music, often created by child migrants who have become artists or musicians. The films have been screened in cinemas, museums, community and art centres, religious institutions, schools, colleges, universities and at open air festivals.  

They have also been screened at conferences and used for training events for people working with migrants e.g teachers, social workers, health workers, psychotherapists and people working with war-traumatised children in Ukraine. They have been used effectively as a campaigning tool in support of child migrants - to encourage other countries to take in child migrants adrift across Europe, to recruit foster carers, to highlight legislation that negatively affect child migrants.

Learning resources for schools - Key Stage 2 to Key Stage 5 - and for Adult Students of ESOL (English for Speakers of Other Languages) have been developed for four of the films - coming soon.
