What teachers are saying

Our class sessions with NaTakallam made the curriculum come alive. It was incredibly meaningful and life changing...My students left the class sessions with a greater appreciation of what it means to be a refugee as well as the fact that being a refugee is only one part of a person’s identity. I am so grateful to NaTakallam and I can’t wait to do this again!

- Teacher, Whitney Young High School, Chicago

NaTakallam has genuinely been the pot of gold at the end of the rainbow for our Arabic programs. The conversations have been transformative for my students, many of whom come from the rural South. The Natakallam staff and language partners are sincere friends, for friends are the family you choose. I highly recommend this program to anyone wanting to build linguistic proficiency and understand refugees and displaced peoples' humanity and human experience.

- Public Education Director and Teacher, Georgia

Many of my students will never travel outside of the United States, some may not even travel outside of Kentucky or the surrounding region. There is a whole world that they are missing, opportunities that they won't see and interesting people they won't get to meet. As their teacher, I feel I need to bridge that gap and provide the window for them to look through and meet that person, discover the opportunities and peek at the rest of the world. NaTakallam helps me complete that challenge.
