For Teachers: Curriculum Overview

The Sikh Next Door Project curriculum was designed by educators for teachers to introduce the challenging topic of diversity. The Project celebrates diversity by introducing students to four Sikh American youth who take them on a tour of their bi-cultural lives.

  • Middle school teachers can use the exercises to explore living in a multicultural society, while teaching geography and language arts.
  • High school teachers can also use the video to explore world religions and culture, while addressing behavioral studies and civics.

This short film and accompanying lesson plans encourage all students to think about their own diverse communities and unique personal identity.
