Many people think of Greek islands as warm, sunny holiday spots. They're also an arrival and destination point for thousands of refugees and vulnerable migrants, travelling from conflict-affected parts of the middle-east and Africa.
What impact will the changing weather have on vulnerable migrants and refugees? How will they cope as the days and nights get colder and wetter? Begin exploration with an evocative photograph, and draw out young people's ideas about migration and coping in adversity.

Ask young people: who has seen images of refugees and vulnerable migrants arriving on Greek islands? What do they recall? [Encourage them to think about the moment people arrive, some from crowded, inadequate or sinking boats. Many have had a long, dangerous, scary journey that has taken all their money and energy. Some do not survive.]
Give young people a few minutes to create a thought shower showing the different emotions that people might be feeling when they reach the safety of the island.
Discuss what happens after the initial relief of arriving safely. Invite the group to think of the hours and days after arrival. What might individuals and families hope for? What challenges might they face?

A nice video clip on Muhammad Ali. He explains a life recipe.In the clip, Ali says:
I would like for them to say, he took a few cups of love. He took one tablespoon of patience, one tablespoon of generosity, one pint of kindness; he took one quart of laughter, one piece of concern, and then he mixed willingness with happiness. He added lots of faith, and he stirred it up well. Then he spread it and expanded it over a lifetime. And he served each and every deserving person he met.

A PowerPoint presentation to remember the great Muhammad Ali. The impact a person can have on the world is the greatest currency there is. This PPT guides the student through the history of Muhammad Ali, who he was, why he is famous, words to describe his character and metaphors he used in his speech. The plenary involves students piecing together the information they have gathered by writing a news article about Muhammad Ali. It would be a great idea for teachers to bring in news paper articles for students to read seeing as many have been written over the weekend in his honor.
