Seeking Refuge is the second Poverty and Peacemaking series hosted by Princeton’s Office of Religious Life and the Community of Sant’Egidio.

The event will include panel discussions, intimate roundtable conversations, and an opening and closing ceremony. It will convene experts from every sector concerned with this problem: faith- based and secular agencies, government and interagency officials, scholars, grassroots religious leaders, human rights advocates, philanthropists, journalists, students, and refugees themselves. With such an interdisciplinary range of participants we hope to share and learn from each other’s diverse experience and expertise.
