Farhan was sixteen when he and his family arrived in Australia as refugees from Iraq in 2018. With little English spoken in the family, Farhan set out quickly to learn English to help support his family. In just under 3 years Farhan has graduated from high school and is now at the University of Southern Queensland working towards a law degree. Join our conversation today as we witness the determination of a young man who has turned a difficult past into a bright future, and teaches us that relationships between Australians and his community can be built beyond language.
