There are many barriers facing young refugees and migrants who want to go to university, but one that is easy to fix is making sure that schools and colleges simply have the right information.
In the UK, people who are seeking asylum or have limited leave to remain are often locked out of university and they often only become aware of the barriers while applying to university, forcing them to put their futures on hold. The impact is devastating.

Your action for Day 7 is to help schools and colleges help their students by sharing the information pack with them. There's a template email you can use and help for finding contact details for local schools and colleges.

Remember, standing against injustice can be complicated. Some actions might not relate to causes you believe in and others might not be possible for very practical reasons. You are welcome to skip today and come back again tomorrow!
