Education and Training

Training for refugee community members provides the foundation for the Centre's approach to Reciprocal Research. Training programs developed by the Centre have covered a wide variety of subjects in response to the particular training requests and needs of different communities.

The Centre also provides a range of education programs to community members and service providers within Australia through summer schools and on request.

It plays a key role in the UNSW School of Social Sciences and International Studies, attracting PhD, Research Masters and Honours students, as well as providing undergraduate Social Work placements, contributing extensively to the Masters in Social Development (MSD) program, and informing courses in the MSD and the Bachelor of Social Work.

CRR also runs an Internship Program that provides opportunities for enrolled students to participate in international research and advocacy projects and contributes significantly to the work of the Centre. Information on 2009 internships. (PDF) (1 Kb)
