Yesterday at the @RefugeeTRIRConf I took a moment to read delegates thoughts pinned on this installation. The question was "what is the difference you will make for newly arrived people in our community?" #healinginexile #fassttconference #belonging #refugeeswelcome

Dr Vikki Reynolds flips the script. Who are the biggest beneficiaries of humanitarian programs? #FASSTTConference

When asked about the Christchurch attack and the contributions of refugee and migrant communities, Robert Mukombozi left the audience in no doubt about the value he places on diversity and unity. #FASSTTConference

Prof. Raimond Gaita posed questions during last week's "Big Ideas" panel discussion that go to the heart of the injustices millions of refugees and asylum seekers face. #FASSTTConference

[Refugee Trauma Recovery in Resettlement Conference @RefugeeTRIRConf]

Just imagine how the lives of not only refugees, but how Australian society, would be improved if we championed the social and economic contribution of refugees. We must facilitate employment pathways for people from refugee backgrounds. #ParisAristotleAO #FASSTTConference

[Refugee Trauma Recovery in Resettlement Conference @RefugeeTRIRConf]
