Diasporas as New Markets: A Trend of A New Civic Discourse

A New Civic Discourse > Diasporas as New Markets
Diasporas as New Markets
Diverse movements of people create new identities and flows of learners. Global, domestic, and digital journeys will create a new cauldron of diasporic identities, as people find ways of communicating and connecting despite geographic separation. Physical and online communities will form, creating new affiliations around shared experiences, and opening new possibilities for learning opportunities.

Ways to Start Taking Action
  1. Look for Hope in New Orleans, a 36 story comic book that centers around New Orleans
  2. Read about the educational services that International School Services provides for children attending overseas schools
