Permanence in the Temporary: Learning about Leadership from a Refugee Community Centre in Serres, Greece.

For my LIA, I spent 8 weeks at the Lifting Hands International Community Centre in Serres, Greece! Located 100m from two refugee camps, we work to provide psycho-social support to the camp community - providing a permanent site of support for people in a position that is designed to be temporary.
