Oshkosh is one of the refugee resettlement cities in the Fox Valley Region, and many immigrants and newcomers come through our door. Still, many misconceptions and myths about immigrants and the complex US immigration system remain.
To offer guidance and foster community conversations on this topic, WALC will be hosting monthly learning circles focused on all things immigration-related starting February 2025. The activities we will engage in these learning circles will range from teach-ins by invited speakers to facilitated group discussions moderated by our Executive Director Dr. Chu May Paing.
Targeted audience: WALC staff, teachers, and volunteers, Community members with interest in learning more about immigration and immigrants, Community advocates who want to expand their knowledge about different immigrant cultures and to better develop cultural sensitivity when interacting with people from diverse backgrounds.
