About this Event

Doors open at 5:30 pm | Program starts at 6 pm

In a time shaped by complex challenges and resistance, migrant communities continue to reimagine what justice, belonging, and community care can look like. Join our RADIUS Refugee Livelihood Lab community for an evening dedicated to celebrating our collective visions.

On February 12, we will uplift the stories, strategies, and futures that emerge when migrant communities lead systems change. Let’s honour the growing relationships we’ve nurtured over the years and come together for:

  • Celebrating our 2025 Migrant Systems Change Leadership certificate (MSCL) program participants
  • Project showcase from our MSCL participants
  • A fireside dialogue with past and present participants of the Refugee Livelihood Lab (RLL),
  • Reflections from special guest speakers
  • Music
  • Food and drinks
  • Connections with current and past participants, alumni, partners, faculty, and supporters

Our space is limited! Register to attend so we can best prepare for your presence.
