IRISE is a civil society initiative to foster connections and collaboration across international borders between organisations, groups and individuals involved in supporting refugee settlement and integration.
The purpose of IRISE is to create opportunities for people engaged at local or national levels to exchange ideas, inspiration and information across international borders with a shared vision of creating communities where refugees resettled or arriving through complementary pathways are welcomed, valued, included, supported and thrive.
IRISE is an initiative of the Refugee Council of Australia, Canadian Council for Refugees, Refugee Council USA and New Zealand Red Cross.
