We're delighted to announce we've teamed up with the Migration museum to relaunch 'Moving Stories', a competition for students studying migration topics at GCSE.

This competition will run until spring 2020 and complements the new GCSE, but is flexible, so that you can coordinate it as part of lessons, revision exercises, or as an extra-curricular activity.
