Silence the Noise

About

This project will hold multiple conversations and workshops with Syrian refugees who have settled in Leeds and other cities in England, to explore their responses to the COVID-19 pandemic.

The goal will be to find similarities, if there are any, between the experience of COVID-19 lockdown and that of being locked indoors during the Syrian Civil War. Findings will inform local and government policy in terms of understanding the BAME community’s needs and where members feel exclusion and discrimination.
