DIAGRAMS AND MAPS

Dip, delve and dive into our world of diagrams and maps galore. This section brings together diagrams and maps that are used in activities but can also be used on their own for displays. Everything you find here will be super-useful for people doing refugee awareness workshops or similar training. Or simply people who love an excuse to laminate.

Diagrams and maps

Diagrams of the asylum process

We get these printed at A1 size and laminate them so we can stick them up in workshops and talk through the process in a more visual, exciting way. If you cut out the main elements, you can also use them in games where you ask people to put them in the right order.

The asylum process is really complex so even the detailed version is actually simplified right down!

The downloads come in handy ZIP file bundles. You’ll need WinZip to unzip the bundles and Acrobat Reader to view the pdf files inside.

We also have icons and symbols that we use to talk through the timings of the process and different issues affecting people at different stages. These you can print, cut out and laminate, and then make into stick-ons by popping some blutack on the back.

You can then stick on say, an icon that shows the stages of the process at which people might become destitute. Or as part of an activity, you could get people to come and stick them where they think they should go.

World maps

We use these in the mapping activities, but you can also use them to make up your own activity or create a fetching, colourful display in a classroom or community centre.

The A1 maps we print and laminate and use for displays, and the A4 ones we use as handouts.

 

A1 maps
These come in plain versions and versions that show where asylum seekers come from and where refugees go.

A4 maps
These come in plain versions and versions that show where asylum seekers come from and where refugees go.

We also have these icons that we use to talk through numbers of people, where they go and issues in the country they come from. These you can print, cut out and laminate, and then make into stick-ons by popping some blutack on the back.

You can then stick on say, an icon to show which refugee-producing countries have the death penalty or an arrow to show which European country hosts the most refugees. Or as part of an activity, you could get people to come and stick them where they think they should go.
