What does it mean to be a British citizen? Ever since the Celts arrived on the landmass we know as the United Kingdom in first century AD, we have been a nation of migrants.

In this interactive timeline students discover the benefits immigrants from all over the world have brought to UK. Over 35 topics are covered including Roman occupation, the origins of fish and chips, the arrival of HMS Windrush and Bhangra music.


Aims:
During this activity, students will explore what it means to be British. After completing the activity and the accompanying worksheet, students should be able to:
  • Identify why the UK is ethnically diverse
  • Discuss the impact other nations have on the cultural identity of the UK
  • Understand the challenges refugees and asylum seekers face when they enter the UK
