World Refugee Day shines a light on the rights, needs and dreams of refugees, helping to mobilize political will and resources so refugees can not only survive but also thrive.

Our conversation with Erika Feller will focus on the precarious position of international law and governance based on her personal and retrospective look at making refugees protection real. We will delve into a discussion on the most urgent issue that needs to be addressed to remedy the current situation where many developing countries lack the legal and logistical resources to cope with the flood of refugees and other migrants. Does the new Global Compact help address the systemic political problem regarding support for refugees - where developed countries “outsource” the problem to developing countries located nearer the countries of origin?

Come along and hear about what solutions we can support so together we can heal, learn and shine.
