This week, Rethink Rebuild volunteer George Morris attended the Labour Party conference in Brighton with colleagues from the Syria Solidarity Campaign. It was a great opportunity to speak to conference delegates and politicians, and we had a mainly positive response to our messages concerning refugees, civil society groups in Syria and civilian protection.
Following our approval for a 'Building a Stronger Britain Together' grant, our Research & Policy Coordinator Dr. Yasmine Nahlawi attended a roundtable discussion on 20 September with Home Office Minister Baroness Williams to discuss issues regarding rising extremism in our communities.
We were pleased to have Ossama Mohammed with us on Thursday 13th July as part of Celebrating Syria discussing 'my films, my freedom, my humanity: independent cinema under dictatorship'.
