Go Back to Where You Came From - Series 2 (ATOM Study Guide)

Six prominent Australians agree to challenge their strong views on asylum seekers by embarking on a dangerous journey, during which they will see the world as refugees.

Over three extraordinary weeks they face mortal danger on the streets of the world's deadliest cities, join the greatest human exodus of modern times in the Ethiopian desert and live amid the dust and squalor of one of the world's biggest refugee camps. They bunk down with families in Jakarta waiting to board a people-smuggling boat for Australia and then set sail for Christmas Island themselves, heading directly into the eye of a storm. Finally, the journey reaches its conclusion within the walls of Christmas Island Detention Centre. Dr David Corlett brings the group together to assess what they each have learned from their ordeal and invites them to share their now well-informed opinions on how Australia can humanly help solve the refugee crisis.

Building on Series 1, Go Back to Where You Came From Series 2 continues to challenge our individual preconceived viewpoints and our society's values. The television series, SBS Online Learning Resources, SBS and Amnesty International's Schools Pack and this ATOM study guide combine to provide an invaluable cross-curricula resource for Australian secondary school teachers and students.
