It does so by starting with the particular case of the Tibetan people, but then expands to include an investigation of the condition of refugees worldwide. The lesson includes various handouts include Poems of Exile and a list of Refugee Internet Resources, information about China and Tibet and a write-up about the Dalai Lama.
