Bristol Somalis Talk Frankly Across the Generations
Saturday, 28th October 2017, 4.00 – 5.30 pmBarton Hill University Settlement, 43 Ducie Road, Bristol, England, BS5 0AX
As part of the Bristol Somali Festival 2017 and its themes, local Somali actors will bring together the stories previously gathered in 4 separate workshops throughout August and September 2017. There, Bristol Somali mothers, fathers, sons and daughters each had their own space to talk about the pressures they’ve faced adjusting to life in Britain and what they would really like to discuss with other family members. These workshops were organised by Journey to Justice in partnership with Bristol Somali Centre. The event will provide a poignant end to this year’s Bristol Somali Festival.
This event is free and a buffet will be provided. For more information about the event and how to book a space, please contact Abdullahi Farah on afarah@somalicentre.co.uk , or Dr. Madge Dresser on madgejdresser@gmail.com.
