RACS-talks: Amplifying Voices for Refugees and Migrants on Human Rights Day
"As seen on TED...now reimagined by RACS for Human Rights Day"
Join Refugee Advice & Casework Service (RACS) to commemorate Human Rights Day.
➡️RACS-talks will celebrate courage, inclusion, connection, and the power of storytelling. Through TED-style talks, we’ll hear from speakers who remind us what’s possible when we lead with empathy and believe in a more inclusive world.
➡️Whether you're an advocate, a migrant, a community leader, or simply passionate about human rights, you'll meet and hear from like-minded people changing the world.
🧡Join us for an evening that will leave you inspired and ready to stand up for justice and dignity for and with refugees - while supporting refugees and people seeking asylum in Australia.
➡️Spots are limited! Light buffet dinner included with your ticket.
Proceeds will fund critical legal help for refugees and people seeking asylum.
