The Refugee Council has produced some great visual resources to dismiss some of the many incorrect facts and myths that surround the asylum process. They bring home the reality of the asylum system which too often fails people who are escaping war and persecution.

REFUGEE WEEK 2013
Another Refugee Week has flown by and what a week it has been. Filled to the brim with great events from a number of topical films, a wonderful RefuTEA and an informative evening on detention but it not over yet! Monday 24th June will see our own event, we have organised with the Nottingham Library. The HUMAN LIBRARY will open its doors between 12.00 and 2.00pm. Exactly like a normal library the only difference is the books are human beings, and the Books and Readers enter into a conversation. The Living Books project enable people to speak and find out more about someone else who you may not normally get a chance to speak to. The purpose of the project is to promote awareness and understanding of people different from our selves and what it is like to be an asylum seeker in Nottingham escaping from violence and persecution.
