In one of our classes, Introduction to Literacy, we have been learning how to develop a literacy program and promote literacy in minority languages. As part of that class, we facilitated a writers' workshop for a local Karen (Burmese) Community. Here are a few pics from the afternoon...
It was really cool to get to spend some time with the people of this community. Most of them have immigrated to Australia after living several years (for many, most of their lives) in refugee camps. Just the thought of that is enough to cause one to rethink their worldview. This was a great learning experience in more ways than one.
