Organizations across the United States have developed contact building activities that bring together refugees and receiving communities to discover commonalities and work towards shared goals. Research and practice demonstrate how efforts that provide people from different backgrounds an opportunity to learn more about one another and build authentic relationships based on shared connections can be transformational and improve inter-group perceptions.
This webinar will provide an overview of contact-building practice, examples of promising efforts from the field, and tips for designing and implementing successful contact building activities.
