What is it like to be a young refugee?  This week on Teachers TV we take a look
at the lives of young refugees, exploring the difficulties and challenges they
face.  

There are many teenagers amongst the estimated one and a half million Iraqi
refugees living in Syria. Often these young people are the only ones in their
families who manage to get work.   This powerful documentary looks at their
lives - the experiences of those who attend school and those who have no choice
but to go to work.

The second part of this series, Teaching Iraqi Children, offers a unique
insight into how Syrian teachers are responding to the challenge of teaching
the large number of Iraqi refugee children registering at schools in Damascus. 
What is it like to teach these young people?  Watch to find out.

Inspirations - Refugee Arts
Most refugees and new arrivals need to grasp a range of skills as quickly as
possible.  This programme follows a group of new arrivals in Lambeth who
develop expressive language skills as they get the chance to make films and
photo-projects.

Barwood and Flint Investigate - Lazy Boys?
Motivational consultant Tom Barwood and former headteacher, Heather Flint, join
forces to shed new light on apparently familiar problems. This time they tackle
boys' underachievement.  Are they really as lazy as some in the school suggest,
or could their lack of motivation be curable?
