Lyfta Time #55: Adhanom in Sweden (Secondary)

Meet Adhanom and learn how he is rebuilding his life in Sweden after fleeing Eritrea.

Teacher notes

🚦This Lyfta Time uses the second film in Adhanom's story. Please note that the film is a PG cert. Please be aware that the first film 'Don't Give Up: Part One' (in the storyworld, but not used in this Lyfta Time) is not suitable for younger children as it contains upsetting references to Adhanom's perilous sea journey. In this Lyfta Time, students will meet Adhanom and learn how he is rebuilding his life in Sweden. You could use it to explore themes such as: home, family and caring, and life as a refugee who is settling in a new place. This mini-lesson can be delivered either from the front of the classroom using a central computer and screen, or for students who have access to their own computers or devices. Like ALL Lyfta storyworlds, these characters are unique. We don't share stories as being 'typical' or as 'single stories' of people or places. **Please note:** If this is your first Lyfta lesson, please see these specially designed introductory lesson plans first, which introduce the Quest Tracker and how Lyfta works: Option 1: '#1 Lyfta Time: Rob in Cornwall' is a 20 minute introduction exploring one storyworld Option 2: ‘How to use Lyfta’ is a 45 minute lesson exploring multiple storyworlds. You can follow this short lesson up by finding out more about Adhanom and what the idea of home means by using the lesson 'The meaning of home'.
