SUMMARY:Launch of the Escape to Safety Exhibition
DESCRIPTION:Free event with refreshments – requires registration. Link 
 available below.\n\nIn-person only. Open to all LU staff and students and 
 the public\n\nDuration: 10.30 - 11.30 am\n\nDate: Wednesday 7 May\, 
 2025\n\nLocation: Library Exhibitions and Event Space\n\nDetails about the 
 Exhibition:\n\nEscape to safety is an interactive multimedia installation 
 that enables you to experience something of what it is like to be a refugee 
 seeking asylum in Britain. It is designed for young people and adults from 
 the age of 11 upwards. It provides the opportunity to think about issues 
 such as:\n\n\n\n\n	What is the welcome we want to give to refugees?\n	What 
 is your image of asylum seekers in Britain?\n	Where does this image come 
 from?\n\n\n\n\nYou will follow in the footsteps of three refugees who came 
 to Lancaster\, one from Eritrea\, one from Iran\, and one from Sudan\, all 
 of whom have shared and recorded their own stories\, over a haunting 
 soundtrack of music by local musician Adrian Hughes. \n\n\n\nEscape to 
 Safety offers a compelling\, immersive way to challenge racism towards 
 refugees\, blending personal experiences with factual information.  It is 
 built on the belief that learning through experience is a powerful and 
 lasting way to understand what others have gone through.\n\n\n\nIf you 
 would like to volunteer with the running of the exhibition from Thursday 
 8th May to Thursday 15th May\, please get in touch on the email below. As a 
 volunteer\, you would primarily be in the library supporting the exhibition 
 experience for around 3 hours (negotiable).  We will provide some basic 
 training. \n\n\n\nIf you would like to help with this\, please contact 
 Louise Speakman on facultylibrarians@lancaster.ac.uk\n\n\n\n\n\nBrought to 
 you by Global Link\, LU Sanctuary Network\, LU Library\, LU STAR Student 
 Society\, FASS Decolonisation and contributing to Lancaster University’s 
 work towards University of Sanctuary status funded by Widening 
 Participation.\n\nLaunch on Wed 7 May but exhibition is in the library from 
 7 to 15 May 2025\n\n
