First meeting of the World Refugee Council in Germany with, among others, Lloyd Axworthy and Rita Süssmuth.
About
Over the past three years, more refugees have arrived in Germany than anywhere else in the European Union, making the next meeting of the World Refugee Council (WRC) in Berlin, Germany an appropriate location to continue a dialogue on ways the international community can more equitable take responsibility for refugees. More specifically, this meeting of the Council will focus on building political will and transforming the toxic narrative on refugees and internally displaced persons.
Registration for this event is closed.
