Building Welcoming Cities - ‘Civil Society Innovation and Urban Inclusion’ #10

For the Centre’s 2020 Report on ‘Civil Society Innovation and Urban Inclusion’, we’re speaking with inspirational innovators from civil society organisations (CSOs) around the world to hear the stories of their advocacy and programming work to make cities more inclusive.

In this episode, Aleem Ali, Chief Executive Officer of Welcoming Australia and David Lubell, Founding Director of Welcoming International, tells us how they are working closely with local governments across Australia to build a network of Welcoming Cities inclusive of migrants, refugees, First Nations people and whole communities, and also supporting the ambitions and learning of their global movement of members doing the same in countries around the world.
