Finding Home: The Journey of Immigrants and Refugees

This Canadian resource broadens students’ understanding of immigration and resettlement and provides a peek into the lives of refugees and immigrants.

Useful to launch discussion of complex related issues as well, including colonialism, racism, decolonization, gender roles, identity, sexual orientation, Indigenous peoples, multiculturalism, socioeconomics, belief systems, and violence. Social considerations noted; sensitive topics may be triggers for some students.
