Crossing borders - From fear to the land of hope
https://www.twinkl.com.au/event/refugee-week-2019
Pearl Cove Library is offering you an opportunity to come along and celebrate World Refugee Day with our Living Library. Interact with our human books where you will have a conversation that will give you an insight into the harrowing journey of refugees who have fled their home, family and friends to find hope in a new country. Experience the trauma and persecution as Anh Do, Deng Adut and Abdul share their stories of horror and joy, of laughter and pain, of wonder and resilience.
The living library is here to challenge stereotypes and World Refugee Day gives refugees a platform to feel empowered and raise awareness of their valuable contribution to society. They are here to enrich Pearl Cove and contribute to the wider community with their artistic, musical, cultural, linguistic, food and work skills.
You will leave the Living library event with greater understanding and empathy, because of the refugees who have displayed courage and perseverance to maintain their hope when they cross borders in search for a new beginning.
