Dear list,
Re: Seeking research on UK public opinions on providing protection to
refugees and asylum seekers or 50th/60th anniversaries of the 1951 UN
Convention for possible use in Refugee Council + UK NGOs' Refugee Week
2011 campaign.
We, in the Refugee Week Coalition* (see below for partner agencies), are
looking for academic or policy research, either recent or research in
progress exploring UK public opinions on providing protection and
sanctuary to asylum seekers and refugees, and/or any research around the
50th or 60th anniversaries of the 1951 United Nations Convention
relating to the Status of Refugees. We are loosely exploring the idea of
using relevant research to highlight some of the key messages in our
media campaign around the ideas of refugees' protection, contribution
and courage.
I'd be most grateful if anyone involved in relevant research and
interested would email me at Refugee Council's press team to discuss
further. Thanks very much.
Best wishes, Cathy Baldwin. Contact: [log in to unmask]
