About the Program

Join us on an exciting journey of discovery, learning, and hope! Students will explore the topics of immigration, identity, and values through hands-on activities and engaging discussions in our Visions and Values galleries. By examining real stories of people who immigrated to the United States and connecting them to the present, students will build critical thinking, empathy, and collaboration skills. Students will also reflect on their own personal narratives and core values and create a journal to inspire positive change.

The educational benefits of this program include: 

  • Object-based learning and learning from primary sources 

  • Reinforcing curriculum content standards of visual and performing art, social studies, and social emotional learning 

  • Exploring Jewish culture, history, and immigration stories 

  • Practicing close-looking and critical thinking 

Funding provided by Specified General Fund for the Museum Grant Program under the California Cultural and Historical Endowment.

“This program is great. The students enjoy learning the stories of different immigrants through clues and collaboration....My students enjoyed working collaboratively, learning about Jewish traditions, and making their own journals. They loved being able to make connections to their own culture and realizing similarities.” —Teacher
