If the group is having trouble generating their own ideas, these suggestions can help get things started:

Make a film using your phone to tell your own refugee story or to publicize the work of organizations in your community that work to serve and resettle refugees.

Help your community visualize the global heritage of its residents. Create a giant map of the globe in a community space like a park, a library, or a museum. Place a large stake at your location. Then invite each participant to place a dot to mark where their family came from and attach the dot to the stake with yarn. You might even use different colors of yarn to represent different time periods when people arrived in this country. Take pictures of the finished map and post them online. Invite discussions of how immigrants have shaped your community.

Study the United Nations’ Convention and Protocol Relating to the Status of Refugees, which the United States helped to draft. Meet with federal and local legislators to discuss the policies you think should be implemented in order to meet the obligations outlined in the document.
