Small Worlds café-style workshop, 6.30pm - 8pm, 20 August 2018, St Gemma’s Library , the Old St Gemma’s site, 59 Ardilea Street, BELFAST, BT14 7DG
– light refreshments provided – organised by Ardoyne Youth Enterprise
The Small Worlds workshop is a relaxed event where you can meet people from around the world in a friendly environment, have a chat with them, and find out about the lives of migrants and refugees.
In Ardoyne and Marrowbone, we all have relatives who moved to England, America or Australia in search of work, and many of us have families or neighbours who had to flee their homes during the troubles… But how much do we know about the experience of people who came to Belfast from other parts of the world as migrants, asylum seekers and refugees?
The workshop will give you the chance to hear from people who have done just that, and maybe exchange your own experiences of migration and asylum with them.
The workshop is limited to 30 participants: you can register in advance with Ardoyne Youth Enterprise: phone 9074 1479 or email communications@ardoyne.org; or register at the door (first come first served).
What participants say:
- ‘Heart-warming, hard-hitting, genuine and touching experience’
- ‘Near cried, learnt more than I have in six years in school’
- ‘Best workshop I’ve ever been to’.
- This event is supported by North Belfast Strategic Good Relations Programme.
