Promoting Positive Opinion About Refugees: Toolkit basics

“Welcoming refugees benefits both communities where they settle and the people who are able to escape

persecution and build new lives. Those involved in welcoming refugees know this well, but not everyone does.

There is a constant need to counter misperceptions and promote better understanding about refugees.

This toolkit is intended to help us get better at sharing stories, initiating better conversations and driving more

productive community narratives that involve those who came to Canada to seek refuge from persecution.

 

This toolkit aims to help us to :

 

Initiate more effective conversations with people in the middle (persuadables).

 

Drive more productive community narratives that involve those who came to Canada to seek refuge from

persecution.

 

Share stories that can influence people in the middle (persuadables).”
