The Refugee Festival theme this year has been storytelling and I’ve enjoyed hearing first hand from refugees and asylum seekers in Glasgow their stories of hope, challenge and the journeys.
It has been a tonic to the negativity and despair caused by the UK Government’s scandalous Rwanda offshoring plan.
From the songs of solidarity sung by the Maryhill Integration Network Joyous Choir, Women in Action sharing African Women’s stories and poems, to the very competitive Refugee Football Tournament, there’s been a lot to celebrate.
