LIFE: More than Learners!

Welcome to our stories related to the first theme of our investigation. LIFE emerged from our dialogues as a place where learners are more than learners. Learners are family members, friends, workers, struggling to empower themselves to learn other’s cultures without invalidating their own. Some students get what is called success, they join the mainstream culture. Others seem not fit in; they represent the opportunity to create a shared, more understanding, more caring, safer and better world!

Community can help!
