Refugee Empowerment Project 2009
The Refugee Empowerment Project (REP) aimed to build on the campaigning skills and capacity of participating individuals and their Refugee Community Organisations (RCOs) and illustrate how they can be supported by a larger organisation to pursue shared campaign goals in the longer term. The project ran for a year from April 2009.
The REP worked with 17 individuals who were based in 8 organisations. Seven of the organisations were RCOs located in the three neighbouring London boroughs of Barnet, Brent and Camden, and one was a second tier/umbrella organisation that works with RCOs across London.
This report discusses data collected from participants throughout the project, as well as discussions with campaigners and information collected from mentors as the work drew to a close in March 2010.
