About

Exploring ways of working with refugees and asylum seekers in order to rethink integration models. 

Project outcomes

  • Involvement improved confidence, reduced isolation, and supported emotional wellbeing through purposeful engagement. 
  • Projects fostered meaningful relationships within and across communities, reducing barriers to employment and services.
