    It's National Inclusion Week and the 2024 "Impact Matters" theme really resonates with us at Niya 🙌 This year’s conversations are centred around a key question: how can we prioritise the work that makes the biggest difference in society? At Niya, we’re tackling this through an innovative lens. How can we ensure our new platform features are serving the most economically excluded members of society? How can we harness AI and technology to create a world where everyone, no matter their background, has the agency to access a better economic future? We're proud to say that impact doesn't just matter at Niya, it sits at the core of everything we do. What's your business doing to ensure the world is left behind better than you found it? 🌍 #ImpactMatters #Inclusion #CareerPathways #NationalInclusionWeek #NIW2024

    Have you ever wondered what role you and your organisation can play in supporting refugees? Because my guess is, it's much bigger than you realise... - Two weeks ago, we saw violence spread across the UK as far-right extremists began targeting refugee and migrant communities. These people’s actions, wrongly framed as “patriotism”, are fuelled by years of media misinformation and a deep rooted anti-immigration rhetoric from government and leadership. But these divisions are human constructs. They stem from a lack of understanding and from a failure to see that, at our core, we are all people deserving of safety, dignity, and opportunity. Through Niya, I have the privilege of supporting refugees and migrants daily and among them, are some of the most inspiring people I’ve ever known. Despite enduring immense hardships, these people continue to show great kindness and resilience, eager to contribute to the society that has welcomed them. - So, if you've felt outraged or disheartened by the news lately, what can you actually do to help these communities feel safe, welcome and integrated? I've written a piece in The Conduit's Radical Realist to share my thoughts on the topic, zooming in on the "unseen journey of a refugee in the UK". I hope by sharing more stories like Vitalina’s, we can unite against hate, slowly shift the narrative and tackle these misconceptions for good.

Set up by the International Olympic Committee (IOC), the nonprofit behind the Games, this team represents the 100+ million displaced people around the world 🌍 Many of these athletes have stepped out to say it’s about more than just making it to the Olympics in Paris, but about using their platform as a refugee athlete to break down stereotypes and challenge misconceptions about refugees.
