Storytelling: Migration Stories in our own Communities

On this episode I explore the power of storytelling with a specific focus on migration stories in our local communities. To help me unpack this, I am joined by four students who just finished 7th grade at the International School of Bangkok. Maggie, Mira, Pammy and Kanan learned about migration like many 7th graders across the globe, but their experience was a little bit different. They also learned about active listening, interview skills, and how do use their critical thinking skills to create videos to share migration stories from their own community.

What is Empathy to Impact: Student Voices on Global Citizenship Education & Community Engagement?

Empathy to Impact is a podcast designed for educators dedicated to global citizenship education. We explore themes of sustainability, service learning, student leadership, and community engagement, empowering students to create a more just, equitable, and sustainable future.
While educators grasp the “why” and “what” of global citizenship, this podcast delves into the “how”. Through engaging storytelling and student voices, we provide authentic connections to curriculum, and showcase practical tools and frameworks that you can implement in your classroom.
By viewing learning experiences through the lens of Empathy to Impact, we can inspire students to take meaningful steps toward becoming global citizens and transform the culture of education in our schools.
Join us as we amplify the voices and stories of students who take ownership of their learning and make a difference in their communities.
