CREATING SPACES OF WELCOME RESOURCES
Our vision is to see a network of community spaces across Bristol, that show a commitment to making refugees and asylum seekers feel welcome, participate in activities and share skills and knowledge. We facilitated a workshop in October 2022, where we explored what makes spaces feel welcoming and how we could achieve this. We discussed barriers, and simple steps we can take and created some guidelines. Do check out PowerPoint (below) and poster (right). Feel free to share!
