To celebrate Refugee Week Exiled Writers Ink and Barnet Libraries invite refugees and other displaced people to a free workshop focused on the theme memory.

Led by Yvonne Green who is a poet, translator and teacher, attendees are asked to bring objects related to the different senses, pass them around and explain the significance of the objects for them.

Yvonne will also be sharing a poem in discussion with the group and incorporating ‘compassion’, the official theme for Refugee Week this year.

Exiled Writers Ink develops and promotes the creative literary expression of asylum seekers, refugees and migrants, providing a safe, welcoming space for writers to be heard.

Please bring something to describe such as a photo, clothing or another object.

Bookings can be made by registering at Colindale Library during staffed opening times or contacting Colindale.Library@barnet.gov.uk
