When Brexit is ‘Done’, how can we support Latin Americans with EU Rights in the UK?

Join us for an insightful and thought-provoking day, to hear about the latest research and good practice to facilitate the participation of the EU Latin American community in the UK, in the context of Brexit.

The EULAMP Project, a collaboration between the Law Centres Network, IRMO, Southwark Law Centre and EDUGEP, is coming to an end in April 2020.

We are concluding the project through a reflective event on February 14th, whereby we will:

share lessons learnt
place findings in the wider context of systemic barriers and legal and social issues faced by Latin Americans in the UK
learn from other examples of good practice and
discuss the implications for the future.
