We hosted an event at our office on 19 December titled 'What Is Aleppo?' With everything happening in Syria and in Aleppo specifically, we understand that people may be confused about the situation, what is happening on the ground, and which narrative to believe. This presentation therefore provided an overview of the Syrian conflict through the Syrian voice.
Given our work in helping with flood efforts in Rochdale in December 2015 which received international coverage, we received an invitation to attend the Global Forum for Migration and Development Civil Society Days in Dhaka, Bangladesh on 8-10 December and to lead one of the panels on using community initiatives to tackle racism and xenophobia.
We gave a presentation on Syria on 7 December at Manchester Metropolitan University's Juris North legal discussion group. The audience included Law students and faculty, as well as individduals from other departments who were interested in learning about the issue.
