Education
The CWR Education team aim to assist children and young people in understanding the global themes of migration, refugees, and seeking asylum.
Schools Programmes
For the past five years, CWR have worked closely with the majority of primary and secondary schools in the Cheltenham area. This includes running assemblies, offering support to PSHE/SMSC and related provision, and encouraging closer links with refugee camps in Lebanon.
Please contact CWR if you would like us to provide assemblies or workshops in your school.
Please visit our schools’ pages for our range of FREE educational resources.
For further support, please contact us at CWR.
Teaching English to Refugees
If you’d like more information on helping refugees to learn English, the CWR Education team also works in coordination with Cheltenham Volunteer Teachers, who provide support for refugee families and people seeking asylum.
