I\u2019m a firm believer that there is always a story to tell, which is why it\u2019s been a pleasure telling the stories of LERRN\u2019s amazing partners and projects. In my free time I enjoy taking photos, reading and discovering new restaurants.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I was immediately drawn to join the LERRN team as I am very interested in refugee and migration issues. LERRN has given me the opportunity to express my ideas and receive helpful feedback from a group of committed and hardworking people. During my time with LERRN, I have developed a communications strategy, assisted in enhancing the LERRN website and social media presence and promoted our partners, events and other LERRN activities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>One particular event that was of great importance to me was the film screening of AISLE, a film made by Hicham Kayed, a Palestinian filmmaker. The beautiful film is about two brothers who are Palestinian refugees living in Germany, who share their feelings on leaving their home and family behind. I was extremely happy to see so many community members gather to watch a film on such an important topic.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As a journalism student, this placement has tremendously helped me improve my writing and digital skills, think creatively and overall be a better communicator.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":1161,"template":"","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"cu_people_first_name":"Yasmine","cu_people_last_name":"Ghania","cu_people_initials":"","footnotes":"","_links_to":"","_links_to_target":""},"cu_people_type":[54],"cu_people_expertise":[],"class_list":["post-1160","cu_people","type-cu_people","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","cu_people_type-secretariat-staff-19-20"],"acf":{"cu_people_job_title":"Social Media and Communications Officer","cu_people_degree":"","cu_building":false,"cu_people_office_num":"","cu_people_pronoun":"none","cu_people_designation":"","cu_people_email":"","cu_people_phone":"","cu_people_phone_ext":"","cu_people_linkedin":"","cu_people_bluesky":"","cu_people_twitter":"","cu_people_instagram":"","cu_people_facebook":"","cu_people_website":"","cu_people_orcid":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/carleton.ca\/lerrn\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/cu_people\/1160","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/carleton.ca\/lerrn\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/cu_people"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/carleton.ca\/lerrn\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/cu_people"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/carleton.ca\/lerrn\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/carleton.ca\/lerrn\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/cu_people\/1160\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":1162,"href":"https:\/\/carleton.ca\/lerrn\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/cu_people\/1160\/revisions\/1162"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/carleton.ca\/lerrn\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/1161"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/carleton.ca\/lerrn\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1160"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"cu_people_type","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/carleton.ca\/lerrn\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/cu_people_type?post=1160"},{"taxonomy":"cu_people_expertise","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/carleton.ca\/lerrn\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/cu_people_expertise?post=1160"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
