During Swansea City of Sanctuary’s and PERCEPTIONS’ collaborative ‘Home Away from Home’ exhibition at the Swansea Grand Multicultural hub (21/03/2022 – 07/04/2022), we ran a number of creative awareness workshops. Over 250 schoolchildren and teachers attended the workshops from four Swansea schools: Ysgol Gyfyn Gwyr, Hafod Primary, Parkland Primary and St Joseph’s Cathedral Primary School, some of them being schools of Sanctuary and other developing bids to become Schools of Sanctuary. These workshops were intended to create impact from the PERCEPTIONS research (mainly interviews with the migrants) by re-shaping participant opinions on migration, encouraging the public to engage with the topic and offering educational templates to recreate the workshops through social media dissemination.
