Project Description
With support from the California Arts Council, Inlandia Institute will formally partner with Glocally Connected to replicate and expand existing arts programs for incoming refugee families, specifically women and children, working to achieve English language proficiency and support their integration into the local community as well as a more focused effort on their mental well-being. As one student said, “we’re all damaged because we were raised in a country where there has always been war”.
