Xchanging Xperiences on World Refugee Day

Here’s a good thing you need to know: In conjunction with World Refugee Day, NGOs Project Stand Up and Akar Umbi Society have come together to launch Xchange Xperiences. It’s an initiative focused on creating the space and opportunity for locals and refugees to meet, with the hopes of breaking barriers and fostering social cohesion. In this episode, we speak to some of the brains behind this initiative, refugee and youth leader, Abdulahi Abdi as well as Wong Chen Li, from PSU and Akar Umbi Society respectively.
