Behind the Headlines

Monday, Apr 27 from 10 am to 11:30 am
Venue to be confirmed - Pontypridd
Overview
Delivered by the Welsh Refugee Council, this session is designed to cut through the confusion surrounding asylum and migration.
Public debate around the issue has become crowded with noise, strong opinions, and misleading online claims. For many people, the challenge isn't a lack of interest - it's a lack of clear, reliable information about how the system actually works.
Join Interlink and Voluntary Action Merthyr Tydfil for a myth-busting workshop, delivered by Welsh Refugee Council, offering a straightforward, practical introduction to the UK asylum system. Participants gain a clear understanding of the processes, safeguards, rights and responsibilities involved, as well as the realities faced by those navigating it.
The session focuses on what's true - not what trends online!
People taking the training will leave with:
·       A grounded understanding of how the system operates
·       The ability to spot misinformation and avoid common misconceptions
·       Confidence in discussing the topic accurately and constructively
