JanineAn evening of powerful storytelling, food, and live radio awaits audiences at Chapel FM on Friday, 7th February, as Bridges NOT Borders takes to the airwaves. This special broadcast will shine a light on the experiences of asylum seekers navigating the UK’s asylum system and their journeys as they move forward as refugees.
The event kicks off at 5:30 PM with free food, offering a chance for attendees to gather, share, and connect before the live show begins at 7 PM. Hosted by the Bridges NOT Borders radio group, the broadcast will feature personal stories, discussions, and reflections, giving voice to those who have experienced the asylum process firsthand.
Bridges NOT Borders is a community-driven radio initiative that seeks to amplify the perspectives of refugees and asylum seekers, challenging misconceptions and fostering understanding through storytelling and discussion. Their upcoming live event at Chapel FM promises to be an eye-opening experience, bringing together community members, advocates, and those directly affected by the asylum process.
The event is free to attend, and audiences will have the opportunity to listen in as the participants share their journeys in their own words. Whether you’re keen to learn more about the realities faced by refugees or simply want to support an important conversation, this is an event not to be missed.
