Most George Mitchell students are first, second or third generation migrants. That means either they, their parents or their grandparents were born in another country.
So why did family members make the journey to Britain? What made them leave their homes? What made them come here?
To find this out you will need to ask questions. You may get some surprises! There will be stories of hope, despair, pain, happiness, courage, excitement and loss. What kinds of lives did people leave behind and what was life like here when they arrived?
FLO:
Take notes. Write down as much as you can. Make your own family history notebook. Share some of these stories with us in class.
