 Migrant Voice - Glasgow network meeting

Join us on Tuesday 23 November for our first face-to-face Glasgow network meeting and social in two years!

This is an opportunity to hear updates from migrant communities and to share your views and experiences of the challenges facing migrants in Scotland at this time. We will also discuss how best to use the media to amplify our voices and campaign messages to achieve the change we want.

The meeting will take place at Garnethill Multicultural Centre, 21 Rose St, Garnethill St, Glasgow, G3 6RE, from 5.30-8.30pm.

Speakers from many communities will address the meeting, and we will look at the issues that connect us and discuss potential collaborations and actions to take forward.

The speakers will include:

We are delighted that Simon Israel, former senior home affairs correspondent for Channel 4 News, will be joining us to support us with how to make the most of the media.
