The Refugee Crisis: what can Canada do?
Wednesday, September 16th, 2015
| Date | Time | Location |
|---|---|---|
| Wednesday, September 16, 2015 | 10:30AM - 12:30PM | The Vivian and David Campbell Conference Facility, Munk School of Global Affairs 1 Devonshire Place |
Description
Pictures of a drowned three-year old boy have galvanized public attention on the plight of Syrian refugees. The attention has come too late, as four million refugees have already fled Syria, including 1800 people who drowned in the Mediterranean. A distinguished panel of academics, journalists, and activists will examine the root causes of the crisis, the divergent reaction among EU member states (Germany’s openness vs Hungary’s restrictiveness) and what Canada can do.
