BYKIDS PANEL ON BORDERS AND IMMIGRATION CHOSEN FOR SXSW EDU

We are thrilled to be part of SXSW EDU 2020! Discussion between our panelists and clips from BYkids’ PBS documentary, OUT OF ALEPPO, will demonstrate the power of giving agency to those who have been displaced by violence via the storytelling of Mohammad Shasho, a young man from Aleppo, Syria. We learn how he became empowered to overcome hardships and obstacles. The voice and experience of a peer will allow teachers and their students to delve into discussions about borders and immigration and moreover; teach empathy against xenophobia.
