Write Here Sanctuary: social integration for refugees through creative writing. (360G-phf-30259)

Working in partnership with refugee support groups, the project will build on Writing East Midlands existing writers in residence programme ‘Write Here!’. The project will use writer led story-telling and creative writing activities to enable refugees to tell their stories, articulate their identities and provide a platform for their creative self-expression. Delivered through ten two-hourly creative writing sessions over 6 months, supported by a shadow writer with appropriate language skills, new work and public performances will be shared between refugees and participants from host communities.
