  1. People without a place to call home Mini Research Project

  2. Who Are the Major Refugees Groups? Where Do They Go? • Use the map you created on global migration patterns and major countries of emigrants to answer this question.

  3. Why Do These Refugees Groups Feel Compelled to Leave Their Homelands? What Impact Do They Have on the Host Country? • Working in pairs or small groups, develop a brief profile of each (modification: one) of the major refugee groups. Use the questions that follow to guide your investigation. • What circumstances resulted in the refugee status of this group? • When did the major refugee shifts take place? Are they ongoing? • How many people are involved? What were the primary destinations of these refugees? • Are there also internally displaced people in this country? How many? • What problems do refugee populations present for the country of origin? • For the country(ies) of asylum? • What are the demographic characteristics of the refugee populations? • What problems of data collection exacerbate the refugee problem? To what extent has repatriation or resettlement occurred?

  4. Websites to explore • http://storymaps.esri.com/stories/2013/refugee-camps/ • http://peacestartshere.org/about.php • http://www.dadaabstories.org • UNHCR: http://www.unhcr.org • World Refugee Survey: www.refugees.org • Search function on a major news site, e.g., New York Times, Washington Post, CNN, BBC

  5. What External Factors Contribute Further to the Dilemma of Refugees? • Sometimes refugees are caught up in political circumstances that are beyond their control. Examine the map of "Refugee Hotspots" at the following site: http://www.refugees.org/about-us/where-we-work/ • Identify the "hotspots" shown on the map. • Read the notes below the map. Summarize for each spot. • Participate in a class discussion of these major developments that have affected refugees and other displaced persons.
