Plain Language and Community Education

In honor of Wear it Purple Day, we’re partnering with the Language Justice Network for a lunchtime webinar. We will explore how to support queer refugees – particularly those in need of language services, looking at the concept of safety, supports available, and working with interpreters. 

The Language Justice Network is a not-for-profit organisation providing services and leading initiatives that centre LGBTQIA+ forcibly displaced people and multilingual communities more broadly.
