About

The RADIUS Refugee Livelihood Lab is happy to invite you to the closing celebration of the Migrant Systems Change Leadership Certificate program! Join us in supporting and uplifting these incredible changemakers, whose talents and ideas will be showcased. Guests will learn about the various initiatives our cohort participants have been building through ideation, which seek to address pressing systemic barriers faced by migrant and refugee communities.

The event will be held online over Zoom, where we will hold space for performance, connection, reflection, and celebration. Hear from participants as they offer solutions to current problems in community that they’ve been focusing on throughout the certificate. Guests will be invited to join breakout rooms to connect further with participants and to deepen relationships in discussion, share ideas, and offer support.

The 2022 cohort is an inspiring group of community leaders from across BC. Each person comes with lived experiences and invaluable expertise on the issues they’re tackling, and we are so excited to see them present their ideas and solutions to all of you! Everyone is welcome and we hope to see you there.
