I’ve shared resources about refugees before, but a new piece has recently captured my attention.
It consists of a series of photos of refugee high school students relocated in Boise, Idaho. Depending on the ages of your students, the article itself might be a little beyond your students, but the captions for each photo were what interested me most. There is something powerful about viewing a picture of seemingly ordinary teens alongside their stories that are anything but ordinary.
Provocation Questions:
- What is the value of sharing our stories?
- How does the process of refugee relocation work?
- Why are there refugees?
- What is the difference between a refugee and a migrant?
- What challenges do refugees face, even after they are settled in a new, safe home?
