Reflection Day 2
Today was only the second day each of us in our group has known the others, but we already feel connected to each other. We believe that is due to our desire to share our own stories of migration and identity with all our students and listening to theirs, as well. We began the day by answering questions they had for us about our life stories, and then we moved into a discussion about social movements as an ideology migration. During that portion, we taught them the 6 types of social movements including the target audience and desired outcome of each type. The discussion was interactive, as the students had many great ideas about both recent and past social movements including discussion of the short and long term success of each. We them moved into the artistic portion of the program, which is T-shirt design. Each student is designing a shirt based on either their self-identity or social issue important to them, or a combination of both. Yesterday we posted pictures of varying movements around the room to give them ideas for the shirts and to facilitate discussion, as well. We stressed the success of peaceful activism, successful social change and the importance of leadership and tolerance in all forms of migration. We gave them a small "homework" idea for tomorrow, which was to pick out one world music song for us to play during tomorrow's completion of the T-shirts. We will let you know tomorrow what they come up with:)
