Bristol Refugee Festival (BRF) promotes better understanding as to why people seek sanctuary and exemplifies the value there is in the diversity and talent that refugees and asylum seekers bring to Bristol. It works for the benefit of refugees, asylum seekers (RAS) and organisations within Bristol and the surrounding area. BRF realises its aims through: - A programme of arts, cultural and educational events bringing together communities across Bristol and the surrounding area to celebrate and value the contribution of refugees to the city. - Collaborating with organisations and communities in Bristol to develop a diverse programme of events to promote better understanding as to why people seek sanctuary, help overcome misconceptions that can create hostility and support successful integration. - Promoting events that value the diversity and talent that RAS bring to Bristol. Between Mar 23 – Mar 24, we have had held over 40 events and activities and have engaged over 6000 people, 900+ being Refugees and Asylum Seekers. We worked with 39 partner organisations and community hubs to produce a varied programme of events across the year. The activities benefited the community by: - Bringing together local residents and Refugee and Asylum Seekers (RAS), building strong relationships in and across communities. - Working towards ensuring that RAS know that they are welcome in their local community hubs and spaces that matter to communities. - Enabling host communities to have the confidence and knowledge to engage with RAS in their area, enabling them to create places of welcome and inclusion. - Enabling RAS to be more effectively engaged and support them to become more active members of their community. - Reducing loneliness and isolation.
Our main stakeholders are refugee and asylum seekers and the support agencies that work with them, but also the local community hubs we work in. Programme content is informed via feedback and evaluation from the previous year’s Festival and regular consultation throughout the planning process with refugee and asylum seekers and via open planning meetings to encourage and support communities, organisations and projects to be involved. We had a variety of opportunities for stakeholders and partners to be consulted and involved in the events and activities that we produce and ensure that that connections are continue. - Open planning meetings - Local Welcome chats - Workshops, toolkits and inspiration - Co-creation of local events - Feedback surveys, evaluation, focus groups The development of BRF’s Ambassador programme has been key to the success of the last 3 years. Refugee and asylum seekers are recruited to be a voice for their communities, encourage participation from others, be ambassadors for BRF and are involved in all aspects of the planning and delivery of the programme. During this year, an additional Development Training programme strand has provided refugees and asylum seekers with leadership, creative, and development opportunities. These have included the following workshops: - Event Management - Artist Development - Trauma Awareness - Evaluation Training - Co-creation Processes For further information about our work please refer to our website www.bristolrefugeefestival.org
