In this series of 'down to earth', online conversations, researchers present findings from their research work and discuss the relevance of these findings to the life and wellbeing of refugees.
Sharing Insights: The Lived Experience of Syrian Refugees in Canada
In English with Arabic translation.
In the second episode of this series, Jobran Khanji tells us about the findings of a national study on the lived experience of Syrian refugees who arrived in Canada in 2015-16.
The study, which was conducted by the non-profit, Environics Institute for Survey Research, and involved interviewing over 300 Syrian refugees, aimed to document how refugees have fared in their new country and lives, and what can be learned from their experience that might benefit refugees and society at large. It provides valuable insights into refugees’ experiences, hopes and challenges for the future.
Jobran Khanji is a community leader, an advocate for peace and a researcher with a background in international development and political science. He recently joined the Environcis Institute for Survey Research to lead the knowledge mobilization efforts for their Syrian Refugee Lived Experience Project. Additionally, Jobran founded Common Ground community house, a grass roots non-profit set to empower newcomers and new Canadians.
