Agenda
Our next Newcomers and Refugee Special Interest Group will address “Multi-agency support for Refugees”. This session will be online on Wednesday 4th May 2022, between 3.30pm-5.30pm
We are delighted to let you know that this time we have two Refugee Support Agencies from the North coming to share their expertise at this event.
Session 1 with Abi Knowles and Jessica Villaneuva from the West End Refugee Service. WERS is a registered charity that provides support and opportunities to people seeking asylum and refugees on Tyneside. They work to bring about positive change to the lives of people whose futures have been irrevocably changed by past events in their home country. Working with a team of ten staff and over 90 volunteers, their projects aim to help people regain control over their lives and rebuild a future here.
Session 2 with Bridget Stratford from the North East Solidarity and Teaching. N.E.S.T is a multi-award winning and internationally recognised student-led project at Newcastle University Students Union (NUSU) that is managed by Go Volunteer. N.E.S.T empowers the refugee and asylum-seeking community in the region through a variety of formats such as one-to-one English teaching, group English classes, sports, creative arts and trips into the local area.

We hope you will join us for this event and help us begin the work of considering ways in which our own classrooms/ practices can reflect a pedagogy which considers ways to support refugee learners.
