The declaration proclaims a series of inalienable rights to which everyone is entitled regardless of one&#8217;s race, color, religion, sex, language, opinions, national or social origin, property, birth or other status. According to the U.N., it\u2019s the most-translated document in the world given that it&#8217;s available in more than 500 languages.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This year&#8217;s theme for Human Rights Day is &#8220;Equality: Reducing Inequalities, Advancing Human Rights.&#8221; Equality includes addressing and finding solutions for deep-rooted forms of discrimination that have affected the most vulnerable people in societies including women and girls, indigenous peoples, people of African descent, the LGBTQ community, migrants and displaced people, and people with disabilities, among others.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Within those groups of vulnerable people, those who face displacement have advocates in the <a href=\"https:\/\/rocyourworld.org\/\">Refugee Outreach Collective<\/a> (ROC). The group, first organized as Refugee Outreach Kalamazoo at K in 2017, has since grown to seven campuses in Michigan\u2014including Western Michigan University, Grand Valley State University and Michigan State University\u2014and has even become a full-fledged nonprofit organization with national and international reach.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Emily Worline \u201919, who is now in law school at Case Western Reserve University in Cleveland, was the founder of ROC at K and still carries out official duties as the full organization\u2019s chairperson. She\u2019s been inspired to extend her work with ROC as a result of witnessing first hand the conditions at refugee camps around the world.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"alignright size-large is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.kzoo.edu\/news\/files\/2021\/12\/Global-Classroom-600x675.jpg\" alt=\"People experiencing displacement attend Global Classroom\" class=\"wp-image-15503\" width=\"300\" height=\"338\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.kzoo.edu\/news\/files\/2021\/12\/Global-Classroom-600x675.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.kzoo.edu\/news\/files\/2021\/12\/Global-Classroom-300x338.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.kzoo.edu\/news\/files\/2021\/12\/Global-Classroom-133x150.jpg 133w, https:\/\/www.kzoo.edu\/news\/files\/2021\/12\/Global-Classroom.jpg 1125w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><figcaption>People experiencing displacement in Malawi, Africa, attend<br>the Global Classroom program offered by Refugee<br>Outreach Collective.<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThe unifying factor at all of these camps is that no one wants to be there,\u201d Worline said. \u201cROC works to shake the narrative that encampments are normal places to house people by organizing advocacy efforts and leveraging networks to alleviate the injustices people face while living there.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In staying involved, Worline oversees ROC\u2019s Global Classroom, a program that helps displaced individuals from the Dzaleka Refugee Camp in Malawi, Africa, get access to university-level educational opportunities through digital courses at Michigan campuses, such as Northern and Central Michigan universities, while offering one-on-one tutoring assistance. The courses combine theory and practice to create space for students to challenge themselves intellectually and learn skills. The first cohort of students is working to receive their associate\u2019s degrees.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cOne hope is it will bolster their asylum claim and provide a better chance to resettle somewhere,\u201d Worline said. \u201cOftentimes, when people are able to prove they have network connections, that can also help the process of resettlement. The other hope is that they can get a job in Malawi with a recognized, accredited associate&#8217;s degree.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Currently at K, ROC amplifies narratives involving migrant and displaced communities through alliance and relationship building. In other words, it collaborates with local organizations in its efforts to make the Kalamazoo community a more welcoming and inclusive place for students and families of diverse backgrounds. Maddy Harding \u201922 serves as the organization\u2019s president.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"alignright size-large is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.kzoo.edu\/news\/files\/2021\/12\/Refugee-Outreach-Collective-President-Maddie-Harding-for-Human-Rights-Day-600x775.jpeg\" alt=\"Refugee Outreach Collective President Maddy Harding Discusses Human Rights Day\" class=\"wp-image-15484\" width=\"250\" height=\"323\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.kzoo.edu\/news\/files\/2021\/12\/Refugee-Outreach-Collective-President-Maddie-Harding-for-Human-Rights-Day-600x775.jpeg 600w, https:\/\/www.kzoo.edu\/news\/files\/2021\/12\/Refugee-Outreach-Collective-President-Maddie-Harding-for-Human-Rights-Day-300x387.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/www.kzoo.edu\/news\/files\/2021\/12\/Refugee-Outreach-Collective-President-Maddie-Harding-for-Human-Rights-Day-116x150.jpeg 116w, https:\/\/www.kzoo.edu\/news\/files\/2021\/12\/Refugee-Outreach-Collective-President-Maddie-Harding-for-Human-Rights-Day.jpeg 680w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 250px) 100vw, 250px\" \/><figcaption>Maddy Harding &#8217;22 is the president of Kalamazoo College&#8217;s<br>chapter of the Refugee Outreach Collective, which is an<br>organization that embodies the spirit of Human Rights Day.<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cWe have the chance to work directly with people at refugee camps overseas, but additionally, we\u2019re able to have volunteer programs that help recently resettled refugees in the Kalamazoo area,\u201d she said. \u201cI think that\u2019s pretty unique. When I first started with ROC, we had a family partnership program in which I would go into recently resettled refugees\u2019 homes and help out the family in any way I could. I&#8217;ve learned how to interact with people who have cultural differences from me and I love that.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>One of these programs is the <a href=\"https:\/\/cce.kzoo.edu\/opportunities\/slp\/\">Homework Champions Tutoring<\/a> program,&nbsp;which was developed in partnership with K\u2019s&nbsp;Mary Jane&nbsp;Underwood Stryker&nbsp;Center for Civic Engagement&nbsp;(CCE) and the local ROC. The tutoring&nbsp;benefits displaced students in Kalamazoo Public Schools.&nbsp;Katia&nbsp;Duoibes&nbsp;\u201923, a <a href=\"https:\/\/cce.kzoo.edu\/about\/ces\/\">civic engagement scholar<\/a>, helped the program&nbsp;start virtually during the pandemic.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThere previously was an afterschool program that I joined at Maple Street Middle School with Emily&nbsp;Worline,\u201d&nbsp;Duoibes&nbsp;said.&nbsp;\u201cWhen the pandemic hit, I was close with all of those students. I was contacting&nbsp;them&nbsp;and we were still working together virtually because&nbsp;all of&nbsp;their support systems and the support they received completely stopped.&nbsp;That spring, it was me and some other tutors who were doing that program just informally, helping them virtually with their homework.\u201d&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>That effort continued through fall 2020 as she and&nbsp;Worline&nbsp;reached out to&nbsp;Samaritas, a Michigan social services nonprofit, which helped ROC connect with more resettling refugees. Afterward, about 20 tutors were paired with students who needed help through winter.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"alignright size-large is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.kzoo.edu\/news\/files\/2021\/12\/Katia-Duoibes-600x790.png\" alt=\"Katia Duoibes\" class=\"wp-image-15487\" width=\"250\" height=\"330\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.kzoo.edu\/news\/files\/2021\/12\/Katia-Duoibes-600x790.png 600w, https:\/\/www.kzoo.edu\/news\/files\/2021\/12\/Katia-Duoibes-300x395.png 300w, https:\/\/www.kzoo.edu\/news\/files\/2021\/12\/Katia-Duoibes-114x150.png 114w, https:\/\/www.kzoo.edu\/news\/files\/2021\/12\/Katia-Duoibes.png 639w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 250px) 100vw, 250px\" \/><figcaption>Civic Engagement Scholar Katia Duoibes &#8217;23<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>The program&nbsp;kept&nbsp;growing when&nbsp;Duoibes&nbsp;and&nbsp;Worline&nbsp;later connected&nbsp;the local ROC and Western Michigan University Professor of Educational Foundations Dini Metro-Roland to make the tutoring a&nbsp;service-learning&nbsp;component for the professor\u2019s introductory education course, allowing 50 WMU students to join&nbsp;their efforts.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cEmily and I quickly realized that we needed a lot more administrative instructional support to keep the program growing and improving, so I was connected with the CCE,\u201d&nbsp;Duoibes&nbsp;said.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>CCE representatives including Associate Director Teresa Denton were ecstatic to add this program to the its previous initiatives working with the English as Second Language programs at Kalamazoo Public Schools. Now,&nbsp;Duoibes&nbsp;and&nbsp;Sydney&nbsp;Lenzini&nbsp;\u201924, another&nbsp;civic engagement scholar,&nbsp;are working to restart the tutoring program\u2019s in-person components.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cI&#8217;m inspired by educational equity, especially in public education,\u201d Lenzini said. \u201cGrowing up in Chicago, I saw very unequal opportunities in the public-school system. Some kids got a lot of resources and others didn&#8217;t. I feel that can be internalized, and then create a lot of problems down the road. In the realm of public education equity, I feel like all students can succeed. Some students just need different support systems, and public-school systems often can&#8217;t or don&#8217;t want to provide those supports. I feel education is powerful. I think addressing educational inequities is a big step because education and access to it is like freedom.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"alignright size-large is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.kzoo.edu\/news\/files\/2021\/12\/Sydney-Lanzini.jpg\" alt=\"Sydney-Lanzini\" class=\"wp-image-15489\" width=\"280\" height=\"348\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.kzoo.edu\/news\/files\/2021\/12\/Sydney-Lanzini.jpg 483w, https:\/\/www.kzoo.edu\/news\/files\/2021\/12\/Sydney-Lanzini-300x373.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.kzoo.edu\/news\/files\/2021\/12\/Sydney-Lanzini-121x150.jpg 121w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 280px) 100vw, 280px\" \/><figcaption>Civic Engagement Scholar Sydney Lenzini &#8217;24<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>The CCE will couple its efforts with the Homework Champions Tutoring program with a service-learning course at K next term that will help more KPS students whose families are new to Kalamazoo. Plus, the ROC nonprofit will continue its international outreach with open-to-the-public events and fundraising for the sake of advocacy, outreach to people subjected to poverty and socio-political constraints such as refugee camps, and connecting individuals to job opportunities, internet access, healing circles and more through its existing networks of people and organizations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cROC\u2019s biggest focus right now is on education,\u201d Worline said. \u201cWe\u2019re opening doors to making educational spaces more accessible. With every camp I visit, whether that be at the U.S.-Mexico border, in Greece and Serbia, or in Malawi, it&#8217;s very obvious that displaced people are being pushed to the very margins of society. They&#8217;re excluded from participating in various political processes. They&#8217;re excluded from attending college. Their movement is restricted. And to me, the idea of just excluding an entire 84 million people from the rest of society is a huge violation of human rights. I think ROC efforts are placed in reversing that and trying to make it so people aren&#8217;t so excluded.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-large is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.kzoo.edu\/news\/files\/2021\/12\/US-Mexico-border-600x386.jpg\" alt=\"Tent in mud at U.S.-Mexico border\" class=\"wp-image-15507\" width=\"473\" height=\"304\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.kzoo.edu\/news\/files\/2021\/12\/US-Mexico-border-600x386.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.kzoo.edu\/news\/files\/2021\/12\/US-Mexico-border-300x193.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.kzoo.edu\/news\/files\/2021\/12\/US-Mexico-border-150x96.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.kzoo.edu\/news\/files\/2021\/12\/US-Mexico-border.jpg 1125w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 473px) 100vw, 473px\" \/><figcaption>An image from the Refugee Outreach Collective shows tents in the<br>refugee camp at the U.S.-Mexico border.<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The United Nations can count on a Kalamazoo College student group and its networks to embody the spirit of Human Rights Day on any day of the year.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":147,"featured_media":15502,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[231],"tags":[117,103],"post_formats":[],"class_list":["post-15476","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-students","tag-civic-engagement","tag-student-organizations"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v22.7 -
