Whether you are working in public sector services like social care, health care, housing, schools, or in charities and community settings, we all have a part to play in building a better world.

Over the last two years, we have trained over 2200 people. Sessions have included topics like asylum system 101; everyday borders; rights information to access healthcare; skills to fight for housing justice; ideas for collective care; climate justice and migrant justice.

Session Leaders: Stand Up, Speak Out is led by an incredible community of people directly impacted by the hostile environment, frontline staff from migrant rights organisations, specialists, academics, community leaders and national organising networks.

Why should I attend?

“This seminar series could change someone’s life.

As an asylum seeker, I always wondered what could’ve happened if I wasn’t failed by the system. What could’ve happened if I was asked the right questions by my social worker, and an action was taken to help me before I turned 18 with my status.

This seminar series is very personal to me as it gives me the opportunity to let people in power gain more understanding on how to help young asylum seekers. Our voices, our stories deserve to be heard and understood by those with the ability to enact change. In the hopes that our needs are met with compassion and action and my hope for a world where the right actions lead to brighter outcomes for all.” -Fatima, Young Migrants Matter
