Workshop I: Case Studies of Refugee Voices: Firsthand Experiences of Complementary Pathways

Join us on: Thursday, May 30, 2024.

Time: 8:00 am to 09:00 am EDT, 14:00 to 15:00 CET

This first workshop is designed to support the capacity of stakeholders to develop and implement complementary education pathways for refugee students. It will ground the series in lived experience to enable future program design to be shaped by people who have experience accessing those pathways. 

This workshop aims at attaining the following goals:

  • Learning from refugee experiences within complementary education pathways;

  • Understanding the considerations for pathway development and the unintended impacts for refugees;

  • Guiding how organizations/institutions can build refugee representation committees within their structures
