Beyond Refugee Week

Refugee Week provides an opportunity to explore identity, belonging, language, culture and participation through literacy learning. While the annual event offers a timely focus, these themes extend well beyond a single week of the school year.

The resources in this collection support ongoing conversations about educational equity, multilingualism, cultural responsiveness and inclusive literacy teaching. Together, they provide opportunities for students to engage with diverse experiences and perspectives while developing their reading, writing, speaking and listening skills.

Whether your focus is text selection, language development, classroom discussion, student participation or whole-school literacy improvement, these resources provide multiple entry points for building understanding and supporting inclusive literacy learning.
