Asylum Seekers Centre

“Our students stand behind people seeking asylum and welcome them to the country. We will continue on this journey together to ensure that asylum seekers are able to feel safe and prosper in a new stage of their lives.” This is just an abstract of what UNSW students want to say to people seeking asylum and living in the community. Thank you Vision Generation UNSW for your visit today and for the fantastic letters of welcome and support you wrote for people seeking asylum. We’ll make sure your messages are seen by all. ...
