Sometimes to welcome refugees sounds more like a slogan rather a concrete set of actions. Welcome should be about doing: doing justice, solidarity and holding together.

There’s an urgent need to cut through negative rhetoric, and shape a new conversation in Australia: starting by elevating perspectives, opinions and untold stories of Australia’s refugee community.

#FightRight gives participants practical pointers on how they can turn their good intentions into meaningful help. From art, journalism and to community support. #FightRight will equip you with the unique knowledge derived from both lived and professional experience.

Tickets for this workshop are strictly limited with places capped at 20 to ensure an intimate, in-depth atmosphere for discussion. Get in quick before tickets run out!

*This workshop has not been organised by Amnesty International but we proudly support it. It is part of the Stories About Hope: an art exhibition that celebrates the human dignity, identity, and strength in people from refugee backgrounds produced by Renee Dixson*
