The Global Citizens Scholars Program is hosting a Refugee Awareness Week beginning April 17th at 7 pm, with a Refugee Camp Simulation in Schultz Banquet Hall.
In this hour long, interactive simulation, participants will learn about the difficulties of life in a refugee camp, the struggle of crossing a border, and experience what more than 22.5 million refugees face worldwide.
Participants will gain insight as to what it feels like to be a refugee, facing a number of obstacles with the hope of being resettled. Space is limited for the simulation, and anyone interested can contact Emily Smith <smithe3> to sign up!
Then, on Thursday, April 19th at 7 pm in the Collaboratory, there will be a panel discussing access, inclusion, and community-building alongside academic learning in the case of refugee youth in America. Registration is not required for this event.
If you have any questions please contact Emily Smith or Professor Laura Reeck <lreeck>.
