What you’ll do
In this event, listen in to the recording of a radio programme which considers how the health of migrants and refugees can be protected.
Claudia Hammond will present the programme and will interview three speakers. Then we’ll open up to the audience. You can participate or just listen in.
The event will be recorded and edited into a programme, which will be broadcast on the BBC World Service in April.
