A virtual conference
Through a variety of panels, and breakout rooms, we will highlight examples of Active Citizenship by discussing actions, programming, and groups that are organizing and mobilizing around difficulties that immigrant, migrant and refugee communities face. The conference will show what a community of practice can look like. It is a chance to share stories, successes, and challenges by creating a collaborative space to address important issues and support immigrants, migrants and refugees in their journeys as active citizens.
