Re-imagining Migration

Preparing to build belonging among all students Our new research-based approach is designed to achieve this.

Re-imagining Migration addresses one of our nation’s most challenging issues today: the ways that polarization, prejudice, and hatred between people of different identities, backgrounds, and perspectives are dividing and damaging our communities and our nation. In the current environment, children of immigrants are often targets of overlapping prejudices as both members of immigrant families and a

s young people of color. These factors impair their academic, social, and civic opportunities for success, and imperil the prospects for our shared democracy. Our Vision

We believe that leveraging opportunities across the educational ecosystem to build bridges among young people in classrooms and communities is one of the most compelling and effective ways to change this destructive dynamic.

Asian American and Pacific Islander Heritage Month 📚

In 2013, LA-based artist Ken Tanaka released a short film called What Kind of Asian Are You? — and it went viral for a reason. In just a few minutes, it captures something many Asian-American students experience regularly: the assumption that looking a certain way means you can’t truly belong here.

Re-Imagining Migration has paired this film with classroom discussion questions to help educators open up conversations about identity, stereotyping, and belonging.
