Forced from Home

Join Grace Farms Foundation, Connecticut Institute for Refugees and Immigrants (CIRI), and Save the Children for an important conversation about the global refugee crisis. Moderated by Anne Richard, the former Assistant Secretary of State for Population, Refugees, and Migration, and featuring Claudia Connor, President and CEO of the Connecticut Institute for Refugees and Immigrants; Casey Harrity, Senior Director of Humanitarian Programs at Save the Children; and Mohamed Almasri, a refugee from Syria resettled in Norwalk in 2016, the discussion will explore the crisis from displacement to resettlement. The panelists will address the factors that force people to flee their home countries, protection and education of displaced children, and how resettlement and integration transforms – and saves – lives.
