Panel on refugee issues
Unfolding Journeys: A Refugee-Led Symposium on Identity and Belonging
This symposium brings together resettled refugees from diverse backgrounds to share their lived experiences, insights, challenges, and aspirations for the future. By centering refugee voices, the event aims to foster inclusive dialogue, inform equitable policy development, and promote community empowerment and global solidarity.
A representative from the Center for Language and Literacy—an initiative under the City of Reykjavík—will participate in the discussion by presenting insights from their work in supporting language development, literacy, and multicultural engagement. The presentation will highlight the impact of these initiatives as well as the systemic challenges faced in creating inclusive educational environments.
