A local project initiated by the TECC Shanghai team, More for Migrant Kids focuses upon improving the educational and career opportunities of migrant children in the city of Shanghai. Historically, this group has been severely discriminated against and deprived of equal opportunity. In this program, student volunteers from universities and middle schools in Shanghai (Fudan, SJTU, Datong Middle School, Fudan Affiliated Middle School, SJTU Affiliated Middle School, Gezhi Middle School) mentor and teach local migrant children, helping to broaden their exposure, increase educational opportunity, and better integrate them into the community. The programs are focused on improved literacy through “reading time,” exposure to cultural and historical exhibits through museum visits, technology education through computer lectures, as well as seminars with migrant children’s parents highlighting educational opportunities and the importance of education.
