InterCultural Atlanta Educational Series: Immigration – Refugees in Focus

In 2014, InterCultural Atlanta had a dialogue about immigration and what it means to them individually. They started a great conversation. In light of 2015’s spotlight on immigration, refugees and a “migrant crisis”, they wanted to continue that discussion and clarify the history, terminology, resettlement and legal processes, and current events surrounding immigration and, in particular, refugees. Come learn more about refugees and the refugee community in the Atlanta area!

They will have some local immigrant integration community members there to help get their conversation going, including Immigration lawyer, Giselle Reid, current and former IRC in Atlanta staff, Aisha Johnson and Claire Jennings, and various refugee community members. Additionally, Maria Azuri, Director of Program at Welcoming Atlanta (an initiative of the Office of Immigrant Affairs of the City of Atlanta), will be joining as well sharing about the work of Welcoming Atlanta to welcome immigrants, including refugees, into the metro area community.

About InterCultural Atlanta: their primary purpose is to facilitate the interaction among intercultural enthusiasts and specialists to build intercultural awareness and competency across Atlanta.
