Conferences
IRC also offers free full-day conferences. These can be large group workshops for educators and others in the community working with refugee children and youth. Alternatively, we can offer a multi-workshop approach with a menu of sessions for guests to join throughout the day. All conferences are planned to meet the bespoke needs of the school, council or organisation booking. Venue, catering and IRC staff travel costs are expected to be covered by the organising partner. The IRC conferences are free of charge.
What the conference will cover
- An introduction to trauma for people seeking sanctuary.
- Strategies and knowledge to create Healing Classrooms in your setting.
- Group activities to facilitate networking, information sharing and skill development.
- IRC can offer a bespoke menu of workshops covering several key areas of resettlement, depending on school or councils training needs.
If you have joined the Healing Classrooms Basics Training online, this could be a great next step to build local area-wide strategies to support children and young people who are seeking sanctuary in the UK.

Testimonials
Enjoyed the whole day, learnt so much. Felt it was the best conference I've ever attended. Trainers were very knowledgeable and personable. Well done.
I thought that the training was fantastic and will definitely be advising all of the organisations I work with to consult the website and undertake the training if possible.
The opportunities for networking and practical applications of activities were fantastic.
