The Voice of Children - free workshop!

2pm and 4pm Wednesday 16th June
Why does Britain still lock up children in detention centres? Barnardo’s and Refugee Action introduce young people from a range of countries to share their experiences with you!
How do we ensure that children are seen as children and supported accordingly? How do we promote positive outcomes for refugee and asylum seeker children? Barnardo’s and Refugee Action offer you a chance to meet young people from around the world, and to hear about their experiences, their resilience and what works! The Voice of Children uses visual images and testimony to take participants on a journey that emphasizes the needs and rights of refugee and asylum seeker children. Barnardo’s South West and Refugee Action Bristol are working in partnership on Refugee and Asylum Seeker Family Support (RASFS), an initiative to improve the outcomes for refugee children.
These Refugee Week workshops are free – but booking is essential on info@pieriancentre.com and 0117 924 4512. Come and hear first-hand what the effects of current policy are on young lives – lives already scarred by dislocation!
The Voice of Children takes place at the Pierian Centre, 27 Portland Square, St Pauls, Bristol BS2 8SA. It's also a good chance to see the Celebrating Sanctuary exhibition - 4 floors of artwork by and about refugees and asylum seekers - free!

Earlier, the' protestanst work ethic' espoused by the landed christians used the workhouses for slavery ( indigenous, dispossessed, alienated poor having been booted out of the countryside and into the stews - more recently booted out of the inner city into sink estates ). It is amazing with all those buildings and particularly all of that land owned by the C of E and friends - their obsession with the homeless. They have the very means to empower people through land redistribution though chose to ook to convert thevulnerable and do soup runs. ( yet there are styill some good people amongst that 'communtiy' ( sic word - amlmonst now meaningless ). Still the charity industry is ( UK charity PLC ) alive kicking and very vicious.
