Students will gain insight into the history of the conflict in Darfur and the impact it has had on the people. 

Students will trace the humanitarian crisis that refugees and IDPs from Darfur are experiencing and describe how those individuals' lives have changed since they have displaced.  

The main goal of this lesson is to familiarize students with the mandate of the UN Refugee Agency (UNHCR) and the work it does to protect and assist refugees.
