Exploring education and migration through research-informed practice
Marinage is not only a language space; it is a learning space shaped by ongoing research on migration, education and language justice. We have links to insights for migrants, teachers, researchers and policymakers.
Why Research Guides Our Work
Why Research Guides Our Work
Evidence helps us design programmes that respond to actual needs rather than assumptions. Migrants do not simply “need to learn English” -they need access to:
opportunities for work
support understanding institutions
fair inclusion for their children
tools that enable independent participation
Advocacy Through Education
Advocacy Through Education
Our teaching approach centres:
dignity in learning
recognition of prior education and skills
respect for cultural identity
empowerment, not charity
We also collaborate with professionals and researchers who share our commitment to inclusion in Trinidad and Tobago.
Education becomes advocacy when it removes barriers to participation.
