Supporting Dr. Yoshida and her research into refugee and asylum seeker assistance in Australia (24-26 February)

From 24-26 March 2014 CLAIR Sydney assisted Assistant Professor Michiyo Yoshida of Setsunan University, Department of Foreign Studies, by making – and accompanying her to – appointments with several organisations. Dr. Yoshida is researching into issues surrounding refugees and asylum seekers in Australia.

In Adelaide, where there are two Immigration detention facilities, we visited 7 non-profit organisations that support refugees and asylum seekers. They were interviewed about the influence the new Government’s policy has on accepting refugees, the methodology when dealing with people with trauma, the cooperation with governmental bodies and other related organisations, and their efforts to gain the understanding from citizens.

This research mission served to be a very useful reference in building a convivial society based on diverse backgrounds.

We would like to thank all visited organisations for their cooperation with Dr. Yoshida’s research.
