Changing the Narrative: A Conversation Around Advocacy and Impact in the Immigration Space

Description: In 2021, a Gallup poll found that Canada was the most welcoming country in the world for immigrants. In the past few years, however, there has been a significant shift in popular opinion around this issue. How did we get here? And how can we change the narrative to better reflect the benefits that immigrants, refugees, and international students bring to our communities? Through analysis of a case study and through interactive discussion, Shamira Madhany will help participants explore critical aspects of persuasion, policy, advocacy and more.
