Would your school like to join us?

Schools of Sanctuary is for everyone: diverse or homogeneous schools, parents, communities, local people and people seeking sanctuary. It’s a way to engage sanctuary seekers and families with their communities and educate children and teachers about the human right to sanctuary.

Schools of Sanctuary is not just about asylum seekers and refugees. We aim to create a safe environment that includes everybody in school, regardless of where people come from, their gender, sexuality, religion or appearance.

The message is a simple one:
EVERYONE IS WELCOME!

Make it stand out

It all begins with an idea. Maybe you want to launch a business. Maybe you want to turn a hobby into something more. Or maybe you have a creative project to share with the world. Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference.

There are 3 steps to being a School of Sanctuary

LEARN

Develop a whole-school approach to learning about what it means to be seeking sanctuary and how to provide a welcoming environment.
