Shelanu Keyring Workshop for World Refugee Week

Join Shelanu at The Exchange for a special evening hosted by the University of Birmingham and other city-based organisations supporting refugees. Through stories, music and art, we’ll be celebrating the contributions of refugees, standing together in advocating for their rights and protection worldwide.

Come along and decorate a key ring to take home.

Refugee Week’s theme this year is “Community is our Superpower”. Shelanu have been exploring this theme by thinking about community activities and peoples’ hobbies as a superpower, because they support mental health, well-being and combat loneliness by creating friendships.

Shelanu members will share a drawing technique to help you to draw your own idea of Community as a Superpower on a polymer clay shape, which you can then make into a keyring.

We will also be selling our jewellery ranges.

The evening will also include:

• Live conversations
• Live music
• Members of Stories of Hope and Home will share their lived experiences
