MIGRANT CONNECTIONS FESTIVAL 2021

In 2021, we organised together with the South London Refugee Association the fourth annual Migrant Connections Festival at the Woodlawns Centre on Saturday 18 September. This year the festival was centred around health, wellbeing and resisting the Anti-Refugee Bill (Borders Bill).

We worked with the Settle our Status Campaign, Lewisham Refugee and Migrant Network, Refugee Action's Asylum Seeker Voices, Actors for Human Rights and many more groups to bring you workshops, performances and holistic healing sessions.

After a one-year break due to Covid-19, it was great to see so many organisations, activists, artists, performer, and people at the Migrant Connection Festival! On the day, we had many different workshops around healing and mental health and around migrant-led campaigns.
