Training with the Welsh Refugee Council

Awareness raising webinars

 

At the Welsh Refugee Council, we believe that organisations have the power to lead change. Our awareness-raising sessions are designed to help you do just that.

These sessions are all about clearing up misconceptions about sanctuary seekers and refugees (SS&R). With so much misinformation out there – from media headlines to social media posts – it’s easy to see how confusion can spread.

 

 

Our awareness-raising workshops aim to shift these perspectives. Through open conversations and real-life stories, we break down barriers and build understanding. Sanctuary seekers in Wales want to be part of their communities, and they want to share their stories.

Workshop Details

  • Audience: Suitable for anyone who wants to better understand the SS&R experience.
  • Length: 1 hour
  • Location: Microsoft Teams
  • Booking: Contact us to secure your preferred date and time.

We also offer bespoke sessions tailored to your organisation’s unique needs. Let’s talk about how we can support your efforts to build a more inclusive community.

Become one of the one hundred

At the Welsh Refugee Council, we’re proud to launch One of the One Hundred, a movement that’s all about creating a welcoming Wales for sanctuary seekers. Our mission is simple: we’re calling on 100 Welsh organisations to take a stand and commit to fostering inclusivity and understanding in their workplaces.

Wales has a rich history of offering refuge to those fleeing danger, but sanctuary seekers still face real challenges in our communities and workplaces. Misinformation about the asylum process and a lack of awareness about the struggles these individuals face can make it even harder for them to feel like they belong.

 

This is where One of the One Hundred comes in. By joining this pledge, your organisation will take concrete steps to make a real difference:

 

Rethink: Book a specialist awareness-raising session to equip your team with a deeper understanding of the challenges sanctuary seekers face.

 

 

Respect: Update your onboarding process to include key information about Wales’ Nation of Sanctuary vision and the reality of seeking sanctuary here.

 

 

Rebuild: Work with the sanctuary-seeking and refugee sector in Wales to celebrate Refugee Week and amplify their voices.

 

Becoming One of the One Hundred isn’t just about social responsibility – it’s about building a more diverse and compassionate workforce. When your organisation signs up, you’re sending a powerful message: that you believe in a Wales where every sanctuary seeker feels welcome, supported, and seen.

Together, we can create a more inclusive future for Wales. Join the movement today and make your organisation a part of something bigger.
