RR attended a seminar on 11 June 2015 which sought to raise awareness regarding the new legal measures to counter ‘’non-violent extremism’’ announced in the Queen’s Speech.

An exhibition on the experiences of parents and children in the Syrian conflict was put together by our community member Aala Elkhani. Rethink Rebuild served as a partner for this event.
