Asylum seeking artists, story-tellers, photographers, video artists – be part of HOME? – Register your interest

People’s Voice Media and LASSN will be providing free digital skills training to asylum-seeking artists with a story to tell.

The HOME? project will train new migrants to document real-life experiences, looking at how people have settled in (or not) to their new homes, how migrant communities have contributed to the places they now live and much more. Interpreters and translators will be provided. 

These stories will then be showcased in the public arena at a variety of venues such as Museums, Libraries, Schools, Colleges, and Universities and we will be creating an animation to bring the key messages from the stories together, as well as a toolkit that will offer guidance in exploring migration in community and informal learning settings.
