Two workshops on practical information on UK immigration and asylum system, Cambridge, UK, 5 and 19 July
Right to Remain is hosting a series of two workshops based on its Right to Remain Toolkit, an accessible guide to UK immigration and asylum systems. The workshops will look at the different routes into and through the immigration and asylum system, the legal rights and options for people seeking the right to remain, and practical things people can do to prepare for the different stages of the process, and what supporters, friends, communities can do to help. The workshops are free, although those who can afford it are asked to donate GBP 1 per session towards the venue cost. Both sessions will be held in Central Cambridge, and where possible, attendees should attend both sessions. The first workshop will be held Tuesday 5 July from 18:30 until 21:30, and the second 19 July 18:30 to 21:30. Please register by email.
