INTEGRATION CAMP
16-17 June 2018 / 2 Days, 1 Night / Singapore
There are nearly 1.5 million foreign workers in Singapore. Of that, nearly 1 million are employed as construction workers or domestic workers. What issues do these foreign workers face as they attempt to integrate into Singapore? What policies and conditions influence their experience? Engage directly with representatives across sectors, and meet foreign workers to hear their stories firsthand. Gain a deeper understanding of the complex issue of migrant worker rights and how you can best contribute to positive change.
