About the Event
Who are we: We are a group of refugee-led initiatives from the networks that took part in the first-ever Global Summit of Refugees, and advocates that work with and for refugees to (i) increase refugee participation in shaping policies, (ii) build refugee capacity to engage locally, nationally, regionally, and globally, and (iii) strategically advocate for and promote inclusive human rights approaches to forced displacement.
Why: Refugees are the most knowledgeable about what is needed to advance their rights, how to overcome obstacles, and how to facilitate integration. This year, unpacking the Meaningful Refugee Participation Pledge, we call for greater inclusion of refugees in all decision making processes having to do with us.
Event Objectives: The main aim of this series of events is to highlight the importance of refugee leadership to achieve “meaningful participation.”
These series of events represent landmark refugee-led gatherings that aim to accelerate and scale up existing efforts to:
1. To create spaces by and for refugee leaders to maximize their participation, developing synergies among refugee-led networks.
2. To highlight a number of best practices in refugee-led initiatives to address existing challenges and to strengthen capacities.
3. To mobilize various stakeholders to come together and re-think refugee participation in an inclusive and systematic way.
Language: Events will be available in English, Arabic, Spanish and Farsi. Events will be scheduled in other languages as the program develops.
