Unpacking antiracism and social cohesion: the way forward for local communities.

Описание: Join us for the latest in a series of webinars for Refugee Welcome Zone councils where we hear from thought leaders and local practitioners on how we can implement better policy and practice at the local level.

In this webinar we will unpack what we mean by social cohesion and consider how we can tackle racism and build more equitable and inclusive communities at the local level.

As anti migrant sentiment and far right populist movements are emboldened globally, we will consider the intersection of discrimination faced by refugees and people seeking asylum ask what can be done at the local level to counter division, discrimination and foster harmonious communities.

We will learn how local councils can play a key role in tackling racism and building inclusion and learn how new initiatives such as community sponsorship of refugees can leverage social capital to build wider community support for refugees.
