On 26 September 2023, the Refugee Transition Network hosted the Pluriversal Borderlands roundtable, featuring 12 international presenters from the UK, Spain, Canada, the US, Australia, Malaysia, and Indonesia. The event gathered 30 organisational representatives from the third and public sectors.

Discussions focused on the applicability of the Transition Design framework and methods for engaging vulnerable communities. The roundtable was highlighted by insights from the originators of Transition Design, Professor Terry Irwin from the School of Design and Director of the Transition Design Institute at Carnegie Mellon University, and Cameron Tonkinwise, Professor of Design Studies and Research Director at the Design Innovation Research Centre, University of Technology Sydney.

The discussions covered topics ranging from co-design and place-making with vulnerable urban communities to global systems change for displaced populations.

Approximately 30 representatives from various organisations attended the roundtable. Professors Irwin and Tonkinwise provided reflections and responses to both presenters and audience members, discussing the applicability and value of the Transition Design framework in practices involving displaced people and urban refugee management.
