UVic Ideafest Talk: "Growing up as a refugee youth: What does it mean in Canada?"

The CFYS hosted two events for Ideafest in March 2019. Growing up as a refugee youth: What does it mean in Canada? was co-hosted with Research Fellow, Dr. Catherine Costigan, and CFYS community partners, Inter-Cultural Association of Greater Victoria, and Vancouver Island Counseling Centre for Immigrants and Refugees. The panel discussion brought together refugee youth, diverse professionals and UVic faculty to share experience and insights, and identify challenges and opportunities for refugee youth to stay resilient as they adapt to a new land.
