Ben & Jerry's Foundation Fund donates £25,000 to support our Next Gen Project 2.0.
In 2024, Ben & Jerry’s Foundation Fund donated £14,000 to our first Next Gen Project and after seeing the impact of the work we do with people from the refugee and asylum seekers communities.
The negative narratives of refugees and asylum seekers and the demonisation of migrants’ communities by sections of politics and some section of the mainstream media dehumanise the sufferings of people fleeing wars and death just to exist for life as any other human being.
The absence of migrants’ and refugees’ voices in the media spaces allows room for misrepresentations and false narratives being peddled against us. Refugees and asylum seekers often lack access to platforms to respond to negative media coverage.
To address this issue, our project do the following to counter that:
Advocacy and Changing Perceptions:
By highlighting the achievements of refugees and the challenges of marginalised communities through our programming, influences public discourse and policy change. We raise awareness about the unique needs of refugees and migrants, and challenge negative stereotypes, contributing to a more inclusive and equitable society.
Building Skills and Employability:
Through targeted workshops, mentorship programmes, and creative training sessions, we equip refugees and migrants with digital, creative, and professional skills.
