Week 8: Migration, refugees


We explore some of the dynamics of migration and refugees, including the visa and residency privileges that people from rich countries receive. We look into the large and small details that shape migration and refugee stories, getting beyond the myth of the American dream, to explore the factors that drive people from their homes.

These materials are designed for small group work with 1 hour of real-time conversation. Folks do individual reading, watching and writing before having a conversation with their group.

These materials are meant to be used individually: to watch, read and write, ideally 24 hours before the group conversation begins.

This is a guideline for the 1-hour group conversation. It gives folks questions to discuss together, problems to solve, and an idea of how much time to devote to each part.
