This year we are focusing on migration in all its forms to show how the movement of people shapes world economies.

Our aim is to help teachers, and their students navigate the different ways economics can intersect with a whole range of curriculum areas, broaden horizons and enhance understanding of world economies and modern society.

The workshop will include a series of interactive activities based on the new video series covering the impact of migration. It is recommended for year 12 or 13 sixth form students who are studying history, geography, economics, politics or sociology.

Students and staff will get the chance to meet academic staff and current undergraduate students with the opportunity for a campus tour after the event.
