This workshop will be based around the themes of the current Edmund Rice Justice Street Immersion program. This program provides (post-school) young adults with an immersion experience that increases awareness of issues around homelessness, poverty, community and stereotyping. This is an inclusive session and welcomes people from all ER backgrounds. This workshop will be an opportunity to discuss your own experiences with these issues and how these ideas can contribute towards future ERJ programs.
