What is ConnectEd?

At ConnectEd, we are an educational community dedicated to showcasing the reality of modern multicultural education. We believe that migration is a powerful tool for personal and academic growth. It’s not just about gaining knowledge in the classroom—it’s about becoming a well-rounded individual, shaped by the experiences of adapting to new cultures, environments, and perspectives.

How It Started

1

The Idea

The concept of ConnectEd began with a simple but powerful idea: to explore the true impact of migration on students’ personal and academic lives. We realized that modern multicultural education is not just about classroom learning—it’s about experiencing a new way of life, adapting to different cultures, and growing as individuals.

The Project

Our first project took shape as a documentary-style video. We interviewed international students, gathering their personal stories of migration, the hurdles they faced, and the transformations they experienced. Each interview became a piece of a larger puzzle, representing the journey of leaving home and discovering a new world of opportunities.

The Puzzle Comes Together

As we collected these stories, a broader picture emerged: migration is more than a physical journey. It’s about growth, resilience, and learning through real-life experiences. This understanding became the foundation of ConnectEd, inspiring us to create a platform where students can connect, learn, and grow holistically in a multicultural environment.
