This poster explores how global migration patterns shape local communities, using North Carolina's Asian American populations as a living lens for understanding immigration, identity, and cultural preservation. Through case studies like Greensboro's vibrant Cambodian refugee community and other Asian American experiences across the state, educators will discover powerful ways to integrate migration stories into their World History and Civics curricula. Participants will receive ready-to-use lesson plans that help students connect international movements to local communities, examining how families navigate major life decisions across cultures and generations. Perfect for teachers seeking to enrich their coverage of migration, globalization, and cultural identity.
