From advocacy to action: how we can all champion refugees
With more than 100 million forcibly displaced people in the world today, and the growing threats of war, conflict and natural disasters, successful resettlement of refugees has never been more important. Be empowered by practical insights for how you can make a difference in this talk with multi-award winning intercultural workplace expert Betina Szkudlarek.
Refugees who arrive in Australia bring a wealth of skills and fresh perspectives that are in high demand. There’s no question that local Australians benefit from the experiences and perspectives migrants bring to our communities – but many people from refugee backgrounds face barriers when looking to rebuild their lives in their new home countries.
Join us as Betina bridges the gap between awareness and action, and learn practical tips to make a meaningful impact.
