Leadership and Advocacy Program Application
Are you a migrant living in Trinidad and Tobago?
Interested in being a leader in your community? Interested in advocating for your own rights as a migrant or refugee?
Then apply to both create and participate in a Pilot Leadership and Advocacy Programme for Migrants and Refugees!
During this Leadership and Advocacy program, LWC-MMR aims to support participants to develop their capacity to better self-organize, address challenges and advocate on behalf of the migrant and refugee community.
The program will consist of a series of workshops which will take place in May 2022. Other learning methods can be explored with selected participants. This programme is an innovative blended-learning program in which the participants will co-create the content and approach. The programme responds to calls by refugees for more active participation in decisions affecting their lives and their specific needs for targeted capacity support. By the end of this learning process, participants should have the skills, knowledge, and confidence to take on leadership responsibilities within community organizations, lead networks or movements, and ultimately to improve the access to and delivery of services to their counterparts.
