2024 VicTESOL Online Symposium

Supporting students from refugee backgrounds: what helps, what hinders?

The 2024 Online VicTESOL Symposium will unpack the perspectives of youth with refugee backgrounds.  It features a keynote presentation by Melanie Baak, Senior Lecturer in UniSA Education Futures, who presents her research on the exploration on how schools foster resilience for students from refugee backgrounds. This is followed by a panel discussion to unpack the keynote, pre-recorded interviews with students with refugee backgrounds and a workshop facilitated by Foundation House.
