Workshop I: Firsthand Experiences of Complementary Pathways
To continue building the capacity of relevant stakeholders to design and implement complementary education pathways for refugee students, the Global Task Force is working on workshops that will address key program design elements and challenges requested and identified by the Global Community of Practice.
This is the first workshop designed to support the capacity of stakeholders to develop and implement complementary education pathways for refugee students. It grounded the series in lived experience to enable future program design to be shaped by people who have experience accessing those pathways.
