The National Resource Center for Refugees, Immigrants, and Migrants and IDEO.org have collaborated with Champaign-Urbana Public Health Department and the Immigrant Cooperative to develop Healthy Spaces a toolkit to ensure spaces are set up to honor people in RIM communities and support the trusted relationships that are needed to have conversations about healthcare that ultimately lead to behavior change.
Join this webinar to learn more about co-designing spaces in your community that serves refugee, immigrant, and migrant communities. We'll share tools that you can use off-the-shelf or customize to meet your community’s needs.
At the end of the webinar, participants will be able to:
- Articulate the value of community-driven work
- Replicate successful community engagement practices in their local communities
- Build their own inclusive spaces that will better serve the public health and healthcare needs of people in RIM communities.
- Use open-source tools developed with RIM communities to boost COVID-19 programming
