They asked the audience to consider this year’s Refugee Week theme ‘compassion’ and how we can show compassion to other people’s migration stories, with one audience member commenting, ‘there's nothing like understanding what other people go through until you listen’. 

We will be handing the artwork over to the Living Refugee Archive at our showcase event in September, so keep checking our social media for more information about the event! 

Connection is what makes us stronger.

Oneness. There is more that connects us than divides us. We are all human! 

Motivating and uplifting each other is what makes us flourish.

Passionate. We are passionate to make a positive change in our communities.

Action. Action is what gives us hope.

Supporting. We support each other in whatever way we can.

Strength in unity is one of our core values. We find strength in each other and for each other.

Inspiring. We inspire each other to be better and more confident.

Offering. We offer our voices to be heard with love, positivity and respect.

Nurturing. We nurture love, speak the truth, seeking justice and freedom.

Thanks to Luca Silvestrini's Protein dance school, as part of There and Here - A Celebration at Woolwich Works, we performed our dance pieces that show our migration stories and how the journeys changed us. It was a truly colourful and joyful day celebrating our creativity and resilience, supported by Greenwich Borough of Sanctuary.
