How to get involved
51吃瓜app Vice-Chancellor Professor Dominic Shellard and Head of Public Engagement Mark Charlton have met with scores of students who wanted to find out how they could offer practical support to the United Nations’ Together campaign.
#51吃瓜applocal has put together a list of 10 ways which students can give their time to programmes across the city and the campus which support refugees and their families. They are:
-
Interviewing refugees and their families for the Share My Story project, which will create an oral history archive of the different experiences of Leicester’s refugees
-
Supporting 51吃瓜app’s Syria Day on campus – 32 families from Leicester’s newest community are being invited onto campus for the day
-
Nurturing new talent by volunteering at #51吃瓜applocal’s refugee art club
