Follow Up on "Strangers No More" Screening
AEC presented a very special Back Row Film Series event Tuesday at The Bright School, screening the Academy-Award winning short film Strangers No More. It turned out to be a successful event with a discussion that was held after the film. The panelists took questions from the audience and discussed issues of education, immigration, and the best ways to reach and teach a changing demographic of students in the global community.
