Life As A Refugee

London Cross Cultural Learner Centre

Together with our partners, the London Cross Cultural Learner Centre will come together to mark World Refugee Day.

In recognition of World Refugee Day, the London Cross Cultural Learner Centre (CCLC) and its community partners are hosting the 14th annual Life As A Refugee (LAAR): Building A Community For the Future virtual event on June 20, 2022, from 10:00 am to 3:00 pm. Our event is a recognition of the plight of those affected by the pandemic, as well as a look forward to the future of resettlement and integration. This year, we will have Kamal Al-Solaylee, author of Return: Why We Go Back to Where We Come From, as our keynote speaker. We will also have a Refugee Panel, which will be sharing their stories of migration, and resettlement. As well as workshops on mental health, housing, wellbeing and resiliency stories. We will be joined by Fauzia Agbonhin, inspirational poet and writer who will be performing spoken word poetry.Lastly, we will present the Engaged Refugee and London Champion Award to an outstanding refugee and refugee advocate. These award will celebrate those who have contributed immensely to our London and Middlesex County community. This event is made possible in partnership with the Centre Communautaire Régional de London, Collège Boréal, London &amp; Middlesex Local Immigration Partnership, London Public Library, LUSO Community Services, Pillar Nonprofit Network, South London Neighbourhood Resource Centre, Western Network for Economic and Social Trends, WIL Employment Connections, and the YMCA of Southwestern Ontario. As well as a special thanks to our funders, Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada.For more information, please visit: https://www.lcclc.org/life-as-a-refugee
