Global Local podcast: All resettlement is local
LGIU launches the brand new Global Local podcast with a look at how local governments can learn from each other on the issues of refugee resettlement.
Welcome to the new Global Local podcast. It links to our new free weekly newsletter the Global Local Recap. This week LGIU’s Jonathan Carr-West and Ingrid Koehler talk about the principles of global localism and how the refugee crisis and the resettlement of refugees in local communities is the perfect exemplar.
This episode ties in with our recent Global Local Recap issue on refugees and local government. Other links mentioned in the podcast:
