Memories from Syria project documents through video compelling stories of Syrian refugees regarding their experiences in war, the immense tragedies and dangers that forced them to leave their country, why they chose to come to the UK, and how they have been contributing to their new society as refugees.
This launch event will showcase some of the films from the project and give you the opportunity to find out where it is heading. Produced by Rethink Rebuild Society and funded by the Building a Stronger Britain Together programme.
Rethink Rebuild Society (RR) is a Manchester-based charity that works towards improving the lives of refugees, asylum seekers, and immigrants, in particular but not exclusively Syrians in the UK, helping them become positively established within British society. They have an ongoing creative programme as part of the work they do. HOME are pleased to have partnered with Rethink Rebuild on HOME’s Refugee Week Arts Festival and Rethink Rebuilds Festival Celebrating Syria.
