We participated in an event on 29 February organised by Manchester University's Students Union titled 'Recognise Refugee Rights: Syria'. After the audience watched the documentary 'Departing: Arrivals' which interviews new Syrian refugees to Manchester, the audience heard from:
We signed an open letter to MP’s written by Manchester University Student Union on 2 December saying that we hoped that they would vote against the decision to authorise UK military airstrikes in Syria. The letter went on to say that there is a high risk of innocent civilians dying in these airstrikes, worsening the refugee crisis.
The University of Manchester's Politics School hosting us today in a debate on the refugee crisis and what the UK should do in response to this crisis.
The Manchester University student society 'Friends of Medecins Sans Frontieres' invited us to deliver a 'Voices from Syria' presentation on 7 October. There was a high attendance of over 60 students.
An exhibition on the experiences of parents and children in the Syrian conflict was put together by our community member Aala Elkhani. Rethink Rebuild served as a partner for this event.
