Awareness-Raising & Training

“The training was excellent... interesting, informative and inspirational. I left wanting to become more involved and to help to make a difference.”

— Newcastle Volunteer Centre training attendee, 2019

A group presentation about the asylum process is taking place in a room with several people sitting and listening. A flowchart titled 'Asylum Seeker to Refugee: A Journey' is displayed on a screen behind two presenters, one woman and one man, who are speaking in front of the audience. Various attendees are seated around tables, engaging with the presentation.

We deliver a range of tailored talks, awareness-raising sessions and workshops to local schools, community groups, health & social care and cultural sector professionals.

These sessions are delivered by team members. 

Sessions provide an insight into the lives of asylum seekers and refugees on Tyneside, equipping organisations to best support people with refugee backgrounds as well as tackling prejudice and racism in the region.

If you are interested in organising a talk in your workplace, school or community group please email alison@wers.org.uk.
