Hello,
I though some of the subscribers of this mailing list might be interested in a conference presenting brand new evidence on the experiences on refugees and migrants in London gathered by community researchers. The event taking place on June 2nd is being hosted by the Evelyn Oldfield Unit. You can find the full details below.
Best wishes,

Research for Action & Influence Conference
The Evelyn Oldfield Unit is holding a half day conference presenting brand new evidence on the experiences of migrant and refugee communities in London.
The conference will conclude a 9 month accredited Research for Action & Influence course run by the Evelyn Oldfield Unit. This capacity building course for members of refugee and migrant community organisations develops their skills and trains them to become community researchers. Each of these researchers has been conducting research on issues affecting refugees and migrants living in London.
This year’s research topics include unaccompanied minors transitioning into adulthood, Latin American and Filipino grassroots campaigning, language as a barrier to accessing healthcare, health needs of Greek and Greek Cypriot women in north London, the role of churches in refugee integration, impact of domestic violence on children, secondary torture survivors, Somali youth crime, and trafficking and modern slavery among Bangladeshis in east London.
This event will feature the results of these studies as well as guest speakers from the refugee and migrant sector, and academia. A detailed programme of the conference will be announced nearer the time.
The conference will take place at Resource for London, 356 Holloway Road, N7 6PA from 1pm-5 pm.
