It is easy to make false assumptions about the realities of refugee’s experience especially when the power is not held by people of refugee background. Our coordinator has collaborated with community youth groups to bring refugee stories to life, and continues to do so today.
We live in a world where the only interaction many people may get with the experiences of refugees is through a third party. The information often comes from a filtered and biased point of view. Rather than hearing second-hand what refugees go through, newcomers are invited to share their personal experience in a personal way. Life sharing has the ability to break down social barriers and establish a connection between the giver and receiver.
