Migrant Youth NZ Conference 2010
Taking place on Thu 27th May 2010About this Event: During Youth Week this year, Shakti Family Centre are organising a day of workshops for young migrants and refugees to get together, share their experiences and talk about issues that affect them in an open and comfortable environment. We are looking for migrants and refugees age 15-21 of Asian, Middle Eastern and African descent. This forum has been designed to help build understanding about cross-cultural issues. We want to recognise and address the specific issues faced by young immigrants and refugees in Aotearoa/New Zealand, while providing a space where you can feel comfortable talking about the challenges of living here. There will be workshops on topics such as cultural 'juggling', racism and bullying, family, love and safety and gender issues as well as presentations by groups who provide support services for young migrants and refugees. This is an event organised by youth for youth to support each other and strategise to build a safer world for everyone.
