Join Veronica Boix Mansilla (Re-Imagining Migration, Project Zero, Harvard Graduate School of Education), Micheline Lavalle (Fairfax County Public Schools Family Literacy Program), and Carola Suárez-Orozco (Re-imagining Migration, University of Massachusetts Boston) to explore the use of family stories in and out of the classroom to help children and youth discover, listen to, share, and celebrate their family stories with pride and joy. We’ll focus on a series of activities that promote English and Spanish literacy and nurture family relationships and story-sharing habits among children and family members in immigrant-origin communities. Participants will leave with a trove of ready-to-use activities and free online resources designed to empower all children and youth by nurturing the practice of sharing cultural values, languages, traditions, experiences, and wisdom.
