Refugees are Changemakers. Tastemakers. Dream makers. And so much more.
Wherever they come from, wherever they live, refugees are shaping policies, art, traditions, dreams and futures in ordinary—and extraordinary—ways.
Read a handful of stories about refugees we’ve met and the impact they've had on their communities and society at large. Then put on your imagination cap and reflect on the everyday ways you could support refugees.
Refugees are parents, business owners, activists, and so much more. They enrich our communities and cultures around the world. Let’s show our new neighbors they are welcome in our communities.
There are countless, everyday ways we can support refugees to recover and thrive. The ideas proposed in this activity are just a handful of possibilities.
