Case studies on international protection applications

These five case studies have been written about fictional people, but based on real life scenarios, to help learners understand the international protection application process, which follows the same criteria in all countries. Learners are tasked with reading the case studies and deciding whether they believe the person would be granted international protection or not. The answers are also provided. These case studies have been very helpful in my own teaching to help learners develop empathy and understanding of situations beyond their own lives. Many of them will be teaching children who have come through the international protection process and these case studies can help them to build their understanding and awareness of the types of scenarios those families may have faced.
