This event will examine the growing global refugee crisis and Australia’s response. We will discuss issues surrounding Australia’s treatment of asylum seekers, health and lifestyle outcomes of asylum seekers, and Australia’s current and historical support for refugees. Additionally, we will cover practical measures that students can take to support refugees and how they can contribute to tackling broader systemic issues underlying Australia’s treatment of refugees.

We hope to see you there!
