Earlier this year in the midst of the alledged "unaccompanied minor" influx plenty of people in and around LPS were spreading the dire consequences of the
IMMIGRANT INVASION. now that we are a little away from that manufactured crisis let the celebrations begin.
Don't get me wrong this is a good thing they are reporting, I just wonder how thet're are doing it with a straight face.
For the third consecutive year, Lynn Public high school students whose families have immigrated to Lynn from around the world are using the medium of film to share their experiences of "Living in Two Worlds." Funded through a five-year Cummings Foundation grant awarded to the nonprofit Solutions for Living, the Living in Two Worlds project aims to build intercultural understandings by empowering these teens to share with their peers the challenges and rewards of navigating multiple cultures.
When we visited Lynn Classical's Living in Two Worlds club this week, the students were recording video clips of each other throughout the school building, with an eye toward capturing the moods and emotions expressed in their personal narratives. Faculty advisors Ms. Fisher and Ms. Curtis encouraged their club members to explore a wide variety of angles and perspectives, in order to add visual layers of meaning to their written words. The Classical students participating in this year's Living in Two Worlds project have journeyed to Lynn with their families from the following countries: Democratic Republic of Congo, Egypt, Gabon, Iraq, Kenya, Nepal, Nigeria, Sudan, and Vietnam.
Please join these courageous storytellers and their peers from Lynn English High School at the two schools' upcoming Living in Two Worlds Film Festivals, which will be held on the following dates:
