We will hear from three experts with different perspectives and experiences related to forced migration. From global trends to local resettlement, how can refugees and immigrants overcome traumas experienced in-country and fleeing from conflict, and find their way to a new life? How does racism impact their ability to cope, adapt and build resilience? What role can our community play in creating a safe environment?
