New Zealand legal professionals: Have you come across the concept of Meaningful Refugee Participation (MRP) and have no idea how to bring it into your practice? Join us for a virtual workshop Meaningful Refugee Participation on Friday,May 23, 9:00–11:00 NZST with the Asia Pacific Network of Refugees.
This workshop will:
- Provide effective and practical training about how best to engage with refugees and involve them in decision-making processes that affect their lives.
- Empower legal stakeholders to become champions/allies in refugee participation and actively promote inclusive and effective approaches to supporting refugees.
- Build stronger partnerships between legal stakeholders and refugees.
This workshop is part of a collaborative pilot project with DLA Piper that aims to provide legal health checks to refugee-led organizations (RLOs) in New Zealand. The aim is to help RLOs identify and deal with legal questions of running a nonprofit so they can better serve their communities and feel more confident about it.
Register today to learn why collaborating with RLOs and empowering effective refugee participation matters in offering effective legal assistance.
