Desperate Journeys: A Workshop highlighting the refugee crisis Desperate Journeys is one of our immersive workshops designed to deepen understanding of the global refugee crisis. This initiative tracks the journey of a family displaced by war, grounding the experience in factual evidence, case studies, and personal narratives to emphasise the human aspect of this global issue. Following our recent session in North Devon, participant Peter Coats shared insights into his experience and the role of empathy. We invite businesses, organisations and communities interested in facilitating meaningful discussions around the refugee crisis to collaborate with us. Contact us for more information on hosting Desperate Journeys in your area. #WithRefugees #Empathy

*World Refugee Day* This Day is globally observed on *June 20th each year to honor the courage, strength, and resilience of millions of refugees worldwide.* This day serves as an opportunity *to build empathy and understanding for their plight and to recognize their valuable contributions to society.* This year's theme is, *"Solidarity with Refugees"* *#worldrefugeesday* *#honourtherefugees* *#MJCAS*

This message is succinct and strikes at the heart of the causes of the global refugee crisis. His appeal for help from governments around the world (and one assumes from the UN), is reflective of the hope of most refugees. But, the problem is massive, and it remains a low priority for many countries. If one counts domestically displaced people, the number of refugees is near 100 million. Predictions are that this number will continue to grow. Indeed, the issue is likely to be central to the US Presidential election this year; particularly when you consider that 250,000 people were detained by US immigration authorities in Dec 2023 alone. With national resources focused on defense, rising cost of living, conflicts around the globe, and climate change, the resources available to support refugees are woefully inadequate.

Today is World Refugee Day. Every day, all over the world, people are forced to leave their home country in search of a safer life for themselves and their families. They leave to escape war, persecution and other serious human rights violations. Under the Refugee Quota Programme Aotearoa New Zealand welcomes 1,500 refugees a year. This does not include the hundreds of people in Aotearoa granted refugee status after seeking asylum here or those still waiting to be granted refugee status. Here we have compiled some resources to help you learn more about the experiences of former and current refugees here in Aotearoa, and the unique and significant contributions they make to society. https://lnkd.in/g6666rdj
