Description

Get a sneak peek at “Creating Inclusive Communities Together: Transforming Higher Education Through Refugee Integration.” Developed by Every Campus A Refuge (ECAR) in partnership with the National Association of System Heads (NASH) and its Refugee Resettlement Initiative (RRI), this certificate-bearing training builds the capacity of champions in higher education to develop ecosystems of support for refugee resettlement and integration while deepening students’ community engagement through sustained place-based and hyperlocal experiential learning practices. This three-hour version of the training will enrich attendee knowledge on forced migration and refugee resettlement; empower attendees to see the possibilities for their institution in refugee resettlement and integration support and related transformative curricular and co-curricular programming; and equip attendees with the tools to create a resettlement campus, a campus that hosts refugees and supports their integration. Campus Compact members can sign up for the full 8-hour certificate-bearing training to be delivered virtually over two days in May.
