Hi Raj
Well done!
Can you tell me how many places have been ring-fenced for migrants themselves to work alongside the professionals to look at what works in policy and practice from a lived experience perspective ? A link to the online application process for migrants wishing to apply to attend this fantastic conference would be most helpful
Many thanks
Ruth

Please help us by sending this information out to people you think will be interested in coming to the Congress. Every day, I am contacted by people telling me they had not heard about the Congress. We have been working hard at disseminating information but it is hard to reach everyone who needs to know. That is why we need your help in cascading, in particular, the URL to the web page.
