Unit Overview:
This unit will introduce basic aspects of human migration to the Aotearoa New Zealand and how various ethnic groups that make up the great Kiwi melting pot, have managed to maintain their culture and identity in relation to New Zealand society. Students will become familiar with basic vocabulary and concepts on culture, identity and migration.
