Join us for a conversation with Hassan Al Kontar, a Syrian refugee who became a Canadian citizen after making headlines around the world in 2018 when he was stranded in Malaysia's Kuala Lumpur International Airport for seven months. Hassan will discuss his experiences in navigating his unique challenges and provide an insight into the common Syrian refugee experience over a decade on from the start of the Syria war.
Hasan is the author of 'Man@the_Airport: How Social Media Saved My Life—One Syrian's Story'.
