Refugee Week

15/6/2021

 
The week beginning 14th June is Refugee Week, and this year's theme is 'We cannot walk alone'. We encourage you to look at the online film festival, Moving Worlds. One of the films featured, Roots, is made by two of our founding members, Katie Seaton and Catherine Henderson, with animation by Rosie Wyllie. Do take a look - it's a 9-minute 'short' - and please watch Suspended, too, if you haven't already seen it. This is on the same website and was made in conjunction with Herts Welcomes Refugees, telling the story of a Syrian refugee resettled in Hertfordshire https://inscapeanimations.com/index.html. There are many excellent films on during Refugee Week. Here is the link for Roots: https://movingworlds.info/roots. There are resources so you can follow the film with a discussion, or show it in a school or place of worship.
