Four participants granted us the right to post the stories about them. The project turned out as desired: the stories aren’t flashy, but students spent a lot of time speaking and listening to German, and many had an aha-moment when they heard stories and opinions from German native speakers.

The next phase is a Spanish course, and I predict a larger number of digital stories. The idea about this project is that it becomes an ever-changing mosaic of immigrant voices in Memphis. The groundwork is finished, now we have a workflow and all necessary documents and lesson plans. Looking forward to the upcoming stories and a public event for the project.
