It's #InternationalTranslationDay, but did you know that we offer dual language books to help our partners support families they work with?

Thoroughly pleased to be hosting an event with the wonderful Jonathan Coe on November 6th. We'll be in the Reading Room of the Bristol Central Library, which is just about as lovely a space as there is.

I’m so looking forward to ‘take wing make nest’ and welcoming the creativity of young people and their adults! #bristolrefugeefestival

Bristol Refugee Festival
‘take wing make nest’ is a FREE art and poetry event for all the family with artist Ali Harwood and poet Joy Mundy at:
*St Werburgh’s Community Centre
Saturday 8th June 4-5pm
*Bristol Central Library (Children’s Library)
Sunday 9th June 12-2pm
Children and their adults are invited to choose or create a bird to represent themselves as a symbol of journey and adventure, combining this with a nest of patterns, colours and words to describe their feelings and thoughts of what home means to them. The participants will be given the choice to exhibit their birds and nests on a pair of model trees or take them home.
Ali Harwood is an artist, poet, writer and teacher from Bristol. He was the 2023 Artist/Creative of the Year for the Liverpool City Region. Ali will deliver the workshop alongside fellow poet and creative practitioner Joy Mundy.
