Action for Refugees supports the Migration Working Group North-West, led by Edge Hill academic Dr Zana Vathi. Members of AfR are affiliated to this new group, which brings together academics and activists across the region working in, or researching migration in the North-West. Affiliated members beyond Edge Hill include arts, health and housing organisations based in the region.

This has heard from a range of academics speaking on topics related to migration, from the experience of Albanian migrants in Italy to an online Arabic course linked to the Scottish Government’s strategy for refugees.
The next seminar will be:
