culturally connecting refugee children through play

A cultural identity box designed for refugee children around the world to better help them integrate into their new surroundings. For my capstone, I focused on the Rohingya refugee community in Malaysia. The result of my investigation is a tin box that holds the most prevalent objects within their cultures that are presented to children between the ages of 6 and 10 to trade and learn more about each others cultures.
