Plenary Session

12:15-13:15 Main Venue

[Learn]

Sharing good practices in refugee support and discussing future actions.

Members of youth organizations working on issues related to refugees and foreigners will share their activities and experiences!

"Refugee issues seem complicated..."
"I’m interested, but I don't know how to get involved."

For those who feel this way, or for those who want to hear from peers active in other fields, let’s listen to the experiences of young people who are engaged in refugee support in diverse ways.

After that, let's think about "refugees," gain ideas from the activities of other organizations to improve our own efforts, and build connections.

By learning about good practices from youth, you might come up with some new ideas of your own!
