 Forums

The City of Indianapolis is one of the welcoming centers in the U.S. for refugees from around the world. The Office of International and Cultural Affairs (ICA) and the Refugee Resettlement Planning Group of Greater Indianapolis (RRPG) holds forums for refugees and refugee service providers. All are welcome to attend to the forums with a spirit of cooperation, an open mind for discussion, and desire to increase awareness, build support, and meet the needs of Indianapolis’s refugees.

Burma Border to Indianapolis Exhibit

 

From the Burma Border to Indianapolis is a powerful photography exhibit, showcasing the photographs of North Central High School’s and Southport High School’s refugee students. These students are from the Southeast Asian country of Burma/Myanmar and have fled to refugee camps before being recently resettled in Indianapolis. The images they present illustrate what life is like for refugee youth in their new home and highlight aspects of their tradition. The exhibit is part of Project Einstein in Indianapolis. The original photo project was brought to North Central High School by Emily Jacobi, founder of Digital Democracy.
