FROM traditional huts of Ghana to apartments of India and beyond, hundreds of residents are building tiny ceramic 'homes' in celebration of the recent resettlement of 600 refugees in the Hunter Valley.

Led by Dr Alice Neikirk of the University's Newcastle Migration Research Network, the Unity project aims to honour the rich tapestry of the Hunter region and its shared communities.
