The National Geographic Society has announced request for proposals for “Documening Human Migrations” to Support impactful projects that – through education or storytelling – seek to increase understanding of and acceptance of migrants and migrant communities.

- nomadic communities,

- Develop and test out classroom resources, curricula, or public outreach materials that aim to increase understanding of the migrant experience and acceptance of migrant communities.
