We love this story about Gloria - the recipient of a Sanctuary Scholarship from the University of Bradford & who has now been able to take up her dream job as a nurse! Sanctuary Scholarships change lives👉thetelegraphandargus.co.uk/news/24275789.…
I was lucky enough to see poet Brian Bilston last night. Amongst other brilliant poems he read his poem 'Refugees'. If you've not read it or used it in school yet (we offer KS3 workshops on it), it's a really valuable piece (ps. make sure you read it backwards too!)
Happy St George's Day! Did you know St George was half Turkish & half Palestinian? An immigrant, about as multicultural as you could get in the classical world & at the receiving end of discrimination & persecution from Roman authorities for his religion👉independent.co.uk/news/uk/home-n…
Huge thanks to Nahid Hamidi, founder of The Afghan Kitchen, for a moving & inspirational talk today at Impressions Gallery alongside an exhibition documenting the experiences of Afghan interpreters who were employed by the British Army & resettled to the UK in 2021.💯worth a visit.
