Welcome to the infovault, a happy, organised home for stuff that helps inform us along with stuff that helps us inform others. Most of the resources here have been made by RAP while the rest of it sends you off to look at interesting stuff from other organisations.
This section of the website is mainly for the fabulous folk who are directly involved with asylum and refugee issues – and we know all of them like their facts spot-on. Folk like:
- Our volunteers working from home
- Other people who do awareness and training work – trainers, NGO workers, teachers and such
- Fact-loving people who like things all in one place – media, researchers, funders
So, what’s in the infovault?
Activities
A place for all the activities we use to get people properly involved in the issue and have a bit of fun on the way. The ‘general’ ones we use with everyone and the ‘youth’ ones we've adapted just a touch for younger groups. Have a peek at both sections, as many of the adult ones are already suitable for young people too (so if they don’t need to be adapted, they’ll just be in the general section). As adults are just big kids and all...

Infosheets
A home for all the infosheets we use to keep on top of the facts and give out to audiences that want more info on particular issues. This is a super-useful one-stop-shop for key facts and figures about asylum in plain English referenced from academic and government sources.

Presentations
Once up and running, this section will provide some standard Powerpoint templates we sometimes use. Although, as a rule, we find Powerpoint can be pretty dull, it can be useful for impressing audiences partial to the latest in presentation technology.

Refugee voices
This section provides first-hand accounts from real people Refugee Action has worked with. These will be useful if you aren't lucky enough to be working with refugee speakers and want to talk through some real-life testimonies to make the issue come to life.
