Join Cities of Migration online for a 60-minute webinar to learn about innovative strategies that promote immigrant student success. For educators in Malmo and Frankfurt, unlocking opportunity for academic achievement means testing new ideas and working inside -and outside- the classroom.

Participants will learn about Good Ideas:

• In Frankfurt, the Diesterweg-Scholarship, developed by an educational foundation (Stiftung Polytechnische Gesellschaft), works with immigrant children and their families to provide thorough German language training to improve educational outcomes.
