OWEN J WORDSWORTH ROOM, LEVEL 12, S BLOCK, GARDENS POINT CAMPUS, QUEENSLAND UNIVERSITY OF TECHNOLOGY, BRISBANE
THANK YOU TO OUR SPONSORS FOR THEIR SUPPORT
The program is structured to start a conversation amongst
delegates on the many challenges encountered by people
from refugee backgrounds as they recover from trauma and
resettle in a new country.
We have been fortunate to confirm Dr Araceli Garcia del Soto
from Spain as our keynote speaker. Dr Garcia del Soto has
collaborated closely with Dr Carlos Beristain to prepare the
Symposium keynote address. In addition to this address four
highly regarded industry experts will present.
The Symposium will conclude with a thought provoking panel
session tackling some of the most pressing issues facing
refugee recovery and resettlement. Delegates will have the
opportunity to raise questions and make comments to the
panel and fellow attendees.
I also wish to take this opportunity to thank our sponsors for
their support without which we could not stage this event.
We look forward to providing delegates with a great learning
opportunity as well as raising awareness of the many issues
and challenges encountered during resettlement.
We hope you can join us at QUT in March 2018.
Kind Regards
Tracy Worrall
Chief Executive, QPASTT
