Learn about journalists in exile
- and what can send them there
Our two new activity sheets offer an exploration of the concept of "controversial"-- the core of why a journalist may be forced into exile -- and of what it is like to be forced to flee. The activities can be used as stand-alone features in a newspaper or offered to teachers to print and hand out.
2. What is it like to flee your country? (English PDF)

The first download is a large page (A3 format - tabloid-sized) containing four sets of activities.
The next four downloads are sets of separate exercises (all in A-4 format) that can be run as stand-alone public service advertisements to help families and schools explore press freedom. Also, teachers can print these out directly as a handout in class.
The last two downloads are pictures that newspapers and students can use use to create their own materials.
