SFU – Refugee Livelihood Lab: Trampoline – Ideas into Action! Program

Recruitment has begun for Refugee Livelihood Lab’s Ideas Into Action! program.

Ideas into Action! is a free 12-week program for people/teams with an idea for organizing a project, social business or non-profit that will address problems faced by refugee and other migrant communities in Surrey. People with lived experience of the refugee or immigrant journey and/or with deep networks in these communities are welcome to apply.

What is the Refugee Livelihood Lab? The program supports migrant communities in organizing high-impact projects to shift systems towards equity by:

• amplifying the voices, stories and wisdom of migrant change-makers
• convening informed conversations that support us to identify and interrupt problematic patterns facing refugee and migrant communities and;
• co-creating new narratives, practices and ways of being together that reflect a vision of justice, dignity, and economic empowerment for all.
