As part of our mission to reach out to the larger community, the Max Kade Institute is involved in bringing the issues of immigration/emigration/migration as well as cultural and language diversity to children in grades K-12. By making its resources available to teachers and students, the Institute hopes to connect immigrant experiences of the past with the present. Innovative and interdisciplinary curricula are being developed to encourage students to examine their role in a diverse society. Educational projects range from workshops for teachers to integrated curricula for German and Social Studies classes to traveling, collaborative and virtual exhibits.
