Research with former refugess
Hello everyone
The Department of Internal Affairs is considering some work around improving services for former refugees. DIA services includes Refugee Travel Documents, Translations and Ethnic Communities. The area I support focusses on travel and identity documents.
We are at the very beginning of this work and need to get an understanding of the full experience of refugees entering and settling in New Zealand.
I need to talk to former refugees based in Wellington and chat about their experience arriving and settling in NZ - what went well and what were the challenges.
Volunteers would need to have a good level of English but would not need to be fluent. It would probably take 40-50 minutes and we could meet them wherever it is most convenient for them eg at their home, at a café or library, or they could come to one of our offices in the CBD.
To show our appreciation of their time we would provide participants with a $50 shopping voucher.
Anyone who is interested in participating please contact me on:
shane.ngan@dia.govt.nz or on 021 416204
Many thanks
Shane Ngan
