Description
An afternoon to learn about the life of refugees in camps and how to address the dire living conditions within. Join us in viewing the life of two Americans willingly registering as refugees in Za'atari Camp followed by an in-depth discussion on the issues raised in the film and how as designers, policy makers, entrepreneurs, and humanitarian aid workers we can make an impactful change to rethink refugee camps across the globe.
