Culture, Arts and Refugees
Key Issues
General overview of issues, challenges and action learning sets
From the beginning, participants of the PLN wanted to explore those areas that would help them find ways to make the work more sustainable: understanding the purpose of working with refugees and asylum seekers, learning and sharing information on funding and policy trends in the social inclusion and cultural sectors, and meeting key contacts from public policy think tanks, service delivery organisations, funding organisations and non governmental public bodies, giving them a solid overview on current trends when advocating for policy change and planning for the future.
In the process of exploring sustainability, the group decided to focus on three main themes that reflect their need for sharing and developing knowledge and capacity building:
Ethics & Purpose
Monitoring & Evaluation
Funding, fundraising and communications
A reflection on leadership learning through networks from the perspective of the Peer Leadership Network on Culture, Arts and Refugees, can be found here.
From an individual point of view, participants sketched out their individual professional goals and objectives for short term, mid term and long term future. A summary of their plans can be found here.
