Mock Refugee Camp(us)

Posting Date(s)

If you have ever thought "I have no idea what refugees are going through" or "there isn't anything I can do to help", then please join the UPEI WUSC Local Committee on October 28 between 10am and 3pm in the UPEI Student Center.

The Mock Refugee Camp(us) will involve discussions and examples of refugee living conditions and rations. Some special guests will be present to answer questions, and there will also be interactive information booths, refugee profiles with personal stories, and an opportunity to play the UNHCR’s refugee simulation Against All Odds. Come, and bring your curiosity, your concerns, your questions, and your friends. All UPEI students, staff, and Island community members are invited!

WUSC (World University Service of Canada) Committees all over the country have sponsored over 1500 students from refugee camps and that number continues to increase.
This event is a great opportunity to learn how you can convert your existing concerns for the refugee crisis into strong, supportive, actions. For more information, contact Katie VanLeeuwen at wuscupei@gmail.com
