From New Netherland to New York, immigrants from every part of the world have made their home in our state. Community Conversations, a program of the New York Council for the Humanities, invites New Yorkers to explore our shared history as immigrants and the descendants of immigrants, and to discuss the ways that immigration continues to shape the experience of being American today. Each conversation uses a short text as a starting point for discussions about cultural understanding and our roles as active citizens in a diverse and democratic society. Anyone can download and use the free toolkits for adults, young adults, or kids; tax-exempt organizations in New York State are eligible for a $200 honorarium for doing the program. Community Conversations is presented in partnership with the New York City Mayor’s Office of Immigrant Affairs and the Interfaith Center of New York.
