Webinar

Good practice when working with young people from refugee and migrant backgrounds.

This webinar will explore good practice when working with young people from refugee and migrant backgrounds, using the Multicultural Youth Advocacy Network's soon-to-be released national Youth Settlement Framework (YSF).

The YSF is Australia's first national framework for understanding and responding to the needs of young people in the settlement context. It will support a national approach to good practice in youth settlement, with the aim that all young people from refugee and migrant backgrounds receive the support they need to become active participants in Australian society.

Good practice with this group of young people and their families is often complex and dynamic, and the webinar will provide an opportunity to explore this complexity in detail

Date: Wednesday 13 May 2015, 1.30pm - 2.30pm AEST. Find your time zone.


Presenters: Nadine Liddy and Heather Stewart
