Chapter 5 - Refugees in Europe

Refugees often face many problems when forced to flee their homes, leave behind their old lives, and adjust to a new life in a country from their own.

Working alone or in groups, think of the difficulties that refugees may face as they attempt to rebuild their lives in a new country or region. You might especially want to think about refugees and their efforts to rebuild their lives in your own country and Europe.
