The document summarizes two research projects on refugees' integration and social networks among ethnic groups and people in poverty. It discusses key findings such as the importance of family, community groups, and language skills for integration and moving out of poverty. Barriers like racism, lack of time and confidence were also examined. Recommendations focused on improving language access, developing social networks, and prioritizing support for vulnerable groups.
As legal services technology tools evolve, taking into account the diverse populations these tools are created to serve is crucial to their overall impact and use. Taking into account the specific needs of vulnerable communities can ensure that these tools serve an entire client population. This workshop will focus on best practices in designing technology tools and content with sensitivity to issues surrounding gender identity and expression, racial and ethnic diversity, limited English proficiency, disability and 508 compliance as well as their intersectionality.

Presentation by Sheila Webber and Bill Johnston, given at the CILIP Umbrella copnference on 2 July 2013 in Manchester, UK. The abstract for this presentation read: "Sheila and Bill will outline a framework to enable citizens to self-audit their changing information literacy needs through life, so they can identify strategies for meeting those needs. In particular they will highlight lifestage transitions. They will indicate implications for people who support these citizens, including possibilities in using tools such as MOOCs."
GLOBAL PERSPECTIVE CAMBRIDGE IGCSE: LANGUAGE AND COMMUNICATIONGeorge Dumitrache
GLOBAL PERSPECTIVE CAMBRIDGE IGCSE: LANGUAGE AND COMMUNICATION. Definitions, questions for the research project, global/international perspectives, local/national perspectives, family/personal perspectives, useful websites.
* Are you a health promoter/ service provider working with immigrant communities?
* Are you a manager planning programs for immigrant user groups?
* Wondering how to increase user uptake of your services?
* Wondering where and how to connect with potential users?
* Wondering what makes them tick?
This presentation will engage the audience in examining the questions above, and perhaps thinking about them in a different way. It will shed light on the social contexts surrounding the information practices of newcomers and other members of ethno-cultural communities. Along the way, health promotion practitioners can hear (and share insights and experiences) about the types of information needed by immigrants to deal with situations encountered in their everyday lives, including their choice of information sources, and successful (or not) outcomes.

The Racial State Week 13: Race, digital technology and social media Alana Lentin
Increasingly, digital technology and social media are becoming important for changing understandings of race and racism. Algorithms, interfaces, and the design of platforms and websites, such as dating apps or face recognition software generate racial information of various kinds. Cyber-racism is becoming more and more of a danger with the far right using the internet to target people of colour and antiracist activists. Social media and technology are also becoming important sites for antiracist resistance. We will examine these developments and consider what impact digital technology and social media have on our daily lives as the divide between the ‘virtual’ and the ‘real’ is all but non-existent.

Abroad Programs: Utilizing Theory to Support and Affirm LGBTQ Student NarrativesCIEE
This session will discuss the significance of race and queer theories to assist LGBTQ students with their study abroad experiences. Trainings that use these theories inform program participants about how to combat marginalization. Educators have a responsibility to facilitate discussions that explore participants’ personal identities through self-examination and meaningful reflection around how their multiple identities play out within their own culture as well as unfamiliar cultural contexts. This session will highlight how to integrate dialogue about privilege, oppression, and multiple identities into predeparture and re-entry orientations.

Understanding User Needs and Satisfying ThemAggregage
https://www.productmanagementtoday.com/frs/26903918/understanding-user-needs-and-satisfying-them
We know we want to create products which our customers find to be valuable. Whether we label it as customer-centric or product-led depends on how long we've been doing product management. There are three challenges we face when doing this. The obvious challenge is figuring out what our users need; the non-obvious challenges are in creating a shared understanding of those needs and in sensing if what we're doing is meeting those needs.
In this webinar, we won't focus on the research methods for discovering user-needs. We will focus on synthesis of the needs we discover, communication and alignment tools, and how we operationalize addressing those needs.
Industry expert Scott Sehlhorst will:
• Introduce a taxonomy for user goals with real world examples
• Present the Onion Diagram, a tool for contextualizing task-level goals
• Illustrate how customer journey maps capture activity-level and task-level goals
• Demonstrate the best approach to selection and prioritization of user-goals to address
• Highlight the crucial benchmarks, observable changes, in ensuring fulfillment of customer needs
In the Adani-Hindenburg case, what is SEBI investigating.pptxAdani case
Adani SEBI investigation revealed that the latter had sought information from five foreign jurisdictions concerning the holdings of the firm’s foreign portfolio investors (FPIs) in relation to the alleged violations of the MPS Regulations. Nevertheless, the economic interest of the twelve FPIs based in tax haven jurisdictions still needs to be determined. The Adani Group firms classed these FPIs as public shareholders. According to Hindenburg, FPIs were used to get around regulatory standards.
Best practices for project execution and deliveryCLIVE MINCHIN
A select set of project management best practices to keep your project on-track, on-cost and aligned to scope. Many firms have don't have the necessary skills, diligence, methods and oversight of their projects; this leads to slippage, higher costs and longer timeframes. Often firms have a history of projects that simply failed to move the needle. These best practices will help your firm avoid these pitfalls but they require fortitude to apply.

race, culture, faith, origin/nationality, heritage and
homeland
• Refugee – the Home Office defined
• Integration – Ager & Strang’s integration indicators
• Social networks: connections with others, based on
trust and participation/exchanges
• Social capital: web of associations comprising interpersonal networks, norms and trust

links and relationships
4. Research Questions
• What are refugees’ integration priorities?
• What types of social network and social
capital do refugees possess?
• What is the relationship between different
types of network and capital and other
indicators of integration?

capital are most beneficial for refugee
integration?
4

• 49% Muslim, 40% Christian
• The majority of refugees were under the age of
35 (70%).
• 31% in UK less than 6 months, 22% over 5 years
• 21% living with spouse
7. Purpose of JRF research project
To investigate the links between social
networks, ethnicity and poverty
• How are networks established and maintained?
• How do they help people cope with poverty?
• How do people use networks to move out of poverty
?
• What other factors come into play?
– education, affordable credit, housing, cultures and racial
discrimination?
8. Research methods
• Birmingham, Liverpool and Cumbria
• Recruitment and training of 8
community researchers
• 91 interviews with community
members
• 30 counties of origin: ‘established
communities’
• 28 agency interviews
• 4 scoping meetings with communities
• 3 social media workshops
• Observation sessions and visits
• 3 community feedback workshops
and 1 policy seminar
9. How people benefit from networks
GETTING BY

• Finding work
• Getting accommodation
• Sharing children’s clothes,
toys
• Access to affordable food
• Short-term informal lending
• Skills exchange – brokering
and bartering
• Emotional support/comfort
• Help with interpretation of
official documents

opportunities
10. Barriers and limitations
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
Language – vitality of English – and legal status
Racism – prejudices and discrimination
Xenophobia – feeling rebuffed or uncomfortable
Cost of networking (travel, presents, socialising)
Lack of time and energy – shifts, childcare, etc.
Lack of confidence, self esteem
Tendency to stay within own community –> lack of
access to well-paid jobs and good opportunities
• Peer and family pressures, duties and businesses
• Family ties cost money – dowries, remittances, visits
11. Networking motivation and methods
• Strategies for finding the ‘right’ (useful)
people
• Maintain cultural identity and conventions
• Being pro-active in keeping networks open
and growing
• Maintaining profile and credibility
• Getting and checking reliable information
• Providing a comfort zone, a ‘safe place’
• Enjoyment and affection
12. Individual characteristics
• Ambition
• Hope and positive attitudes
• Character/ethos/orientation
– joy of giving and helping others
– Commitment to family/community
•
•
•
•
Spirit of independence
Confidence and friendliness
Stepping ‘outside immediate comfort zones’
Personal resources (time, money, skills)
13. Any questions ?
• About what we did rather
than what we found out
• Findings and implications
come next
14. Shared Findings 1
• Importance of family and friends
• Importance of voluntary, community and faith groups
• Agencies are not networking as effectively as they could be
to reach/serve minority ethnic communities
• The complexity of negotiating systems and the culture of
those systems
• Links between networks and informal employment processes
– Equalities issues
• Inclusive and exclusive aspects of networks
• Levels of trust and reciprocity shape how networks operate
and how accessible they are for different individuals and
communities
15. Shared Findings 2
• Importance of ESOL: language and ‘space to
network’
• Lack of social networks associated with poor
health
• Bonding capital for emotional support and
survival
• Bridging and linking capital/’weak ties’ for
‘getting ahead’
• Level of education in country of origin: linked to
nature and range of networks
16. Shared Findings 3
• Stereotypes of communities were misleading – many
exceptions, but shared values and traditions were
important
• Impact of ‘network disruption’: divorce, loss of long term
employment/workplace; moving home
• Cultural characteristics of networks: reflect social
identities - ethnic, class or gender differences, personal
interests and family histories
• Networks are not the only (or most important?) factor in
moving out of poverty or enabling integration
• Other factors – access to funds and assets, education,
language skills, discrimination, fiscal policy, impact of
welfare reform
17. Key Differences 1
• Refugees do not prioritise networks although
evidence suggests they are essential
• Few gender differences in networks but
differences in outcomes
• Safety and security and impact of harassment
“negative networks” greatest impact on
integration
• Clear negative impact of dispersal on integration
and types of network
• Living with children associated with poorer
health
18. Key Differences 2
• Social Media Focus: ethnic difference in social media
(QQ/ Nasra Klasa):E-bay and online trading – Made in
Cumbria, R&J store – Filipino goods
• Age, class and network awareness
• Digital disadvantage (rather than a clear ‘digital
divide’)
• Rural focus: Scattered BME populations:
isolation, stress: lack of ‘critical mass’ for organising
ethnic specific community activities
• Agency focus: macro-policy issues more important
than networks in addressing poverty (impact of
cuts, welfare reform etc)
19. Recommendations
•
•
•
•
•
Improve access to quality language training
Encourage development of all kinds of networks
Support NGOs to work with refugees
Protect from anti-integrative attacks
Look at mechanisms to place asylum seekers near
friends and family
• Prioritise support for women and Muslims
• Support family reunion
20. Recommendations
• Access to face to face advice
• ESOL: addressing language barriers and ensuring
space for inter-cultural networking
• Promote digital fluency and access to internet
• Volunteer opportunities as a way into employment
• Mentoring and peer support
• Role of community based organisations:
commissioning for ‘social value’
• Access to ‘vertical’ connections via agencies’
networks
21. Discussion
• Do these findings and recommendations
seem right?
• What are the implications for policy and
practice?
• What more do we need to know?
• What is happening already to implement
some of these ideas?
• How can the issues raised be addressed?
