Berkley Center

These resources are meant to help participants learn and explore the impact of reporting on children in the context of migration, displacement, and asylum, and how the conversation around journalism and policy can change when we center children and our commitments to them. They were prepared to complement the March 21, 2024, event "'Whose Story to Tell?' Writing About, For, and Alongside Children on the Move."
