Young Diasporas: Longing and Belonging

This book is built around the stories of young people who live in Kent, but have roots and connections with other parts of the world.  They have dreams, aspirations and difficulties - like everyone else.  They long for a normal life; they want to belong.

There are stories of kindness and solidarity, but also stories of tension, racism and violence.  By challenging misconceptions and highlighting similarites it aims to promote appreciation and understanding of different cultures.

Supplemented by teaching notes, and website lists, it provides an engaging resource for teachers of Geography, Citizenship, PSHE, and Englishat KS2 and KS3.

60pp book in full colour with total content on accompanying CD. £10.00 plus £2.50 p&p.  Contact WEDG.
