FRUN Community of Practice event: Refugee family reunification and the Route-Based Approach

Join us for a conversation about the Route-Based Approach, featuring FRUN Advisory Group members UNHCR and IOM. Experts will highlight practical examples of the Route-Based Approach in action, and invite us to consider this approach as a useful framing for the FRUN’s systems-building efforts and cross-border collaboration in support of refugees’ access to family reunification.
 
The Route-Based Approach is a strategic, holistic, cross-border framework to assist States in responding more effectively and predictably to the challenges of mixed movements of refugees and migrants, in line with their international obligations. It engages States to ensure international protection and solutions for refugees, while upholding rights and creating opportunities for migrants, along key routes.

This custom training for those involved with sponsorship and resettlement efforts across Canada, where we will walk you through how to use the “We’re Better Together” campaign to advocate for a fair and welcoming immigration system.

As support for immigrants and refugees continues to backslide in Canada, the “We’re Better Together” campaign has been created to improve public opinion and build momentum for an inclusive immigration system. In this training, leaders from the sector will cover the campaign’s messaging, overall strategy, and how to adapt the campaign to support your work in sponsorship and resettlement.
