Project Vision

Homing Voices explores “homing” as an ongoing process of making and remaking home—across languages, places, memories, and relationships. Migration stories are not only about movement across borders; they are also about identity, family histories, and belonging. This project positions storytelling as a civic and pedagogical act that strengthens community understanding and supports inclusive education.

Project Goals

• Support educators in developing migration-centered storytelling pedagogies

• Create a digital archive of local migration narratives

• Foster dialogue across communities in Hampton Roads

• Build sustainable tools for inclusive, community-based curriculum design

Project Timeline

• Fall Workshops: three facilitated sessions focused on creative, linguistically responsive, and historically situated storytelling

• “Story Night” Public Sharing: community exhibition and online story launch

Who is this for?

PK–12 educators, community members, and partners interested in migration histories, inclusive storytelling, and classroom/community connections.
