AFRICA TO EUROPE MIGRATION ROUTES
Using the routes Africa to Europe migration routes table, plot the different routes and the countries they go through to reach their destination. You will need to use an Atlas showing Africa and Southern Europe.
Ensure you label your countries or colour using a key.
There are two main migration routes out of Africa (East and West).
1. Western routes come from:
Senegal. The migrants travel to Niger (Agadez) and then onto Libya (Sabha).
Mali. The migrants travel to Niger (Agadez) and then onto Libya (Sabha).
Ivory coast. The migrants travel to Niger (Agadez) and then onto Libya (Sabha).
Nigeria . The migrants travel to Niger (Agadez) and then onto Libya (Sabha).
2. Eastern routes come from:
Somalia.
They travel to Sudan (Khartoum) and then onto Libya (Sabha).
Ethiopia.
They travel to Sudan (Khartoum) and then onto Libya (Sabha).
Eritrea . They travel to Sudan (Khartoum) and then onto Libya (Sabha).
From Libya , migrants will then make the often treacherous journey crossing the
Mediterranean Sea to Italy and Malta .
Task: Plot the main migration routes from Africa to Europe on your map. Use two colours, one for Eastern routes and one for Western routes. Make sure your routes go through the major cities of Agadez and
Sabha.
Firstly shade the countries in lightly with a crayon and then draw arrows from the countries following the route. Then do the eastern route in another colour. Don’t forget a final colour for the final part of the journey across the sea.

Understand and describe push and pull factors of migration.
Explain the impacts of migration.
Does anyone want to live elsewhere?
Why?
What would you need to do?
Why would some people want to relocate elsewhere?
Describe why some people are allowed to move countries and others not?
Explain what problems may be caused by people moving countries?
Migration Push and Pull factors
Sort the cards into push from one place and pull to another.
Use two different colours.
Push
Pull
Overpopulation from high birth rates
Better paid jobs
Better quality of life Improved housing with water and electricity
Starvation from drought and crop failure
Attractive environments
Services such as schools, doctors and entertainment are available
Natural disasters
Overgrazing results in soil erosion and poor crops
Wars and threatening behaviour of community groups
Many people do not own land
Farming is hard work
Lack of services like hospitals and education
Lack of employment
Attracted by stories and
‘bright lights’
Reliable sources of food
Pressure on the land
Better level of education
Complete the sheet, migration push and pull factors
Pick which 2 pull factors you think are most important and explain your choices.

TASK 1: Draw arrows to show the paths taken by migrants along the two main routes. Use two different colours to show the two different routes.
Western Route:
Senegal Niger Libya
Mali Niger Libya
Ivory Coast Niger Libya
Nigeria Niger Libya
Eastern Route:
Somalia Sudan Libya
Ethiopia Sudan Libya
Eritrea Sudan Libya
TASK 2: Which routes are the longest and shortest? CHALLENGE: What difficulties and dangers are there for migrants taking these routes?
