A lovely feature story of our project Drawing Together 👇!

[CELCIS @CELCIStweets]

NEW: Our latest feature story explores how young refugees in Scotland, Finland and Norway are coming together to explore how they rebuild their everyday lives in new countries: https://t.co/XRXlO0jNnI

Great to see if the poetry, stories, and art by young refugees in this book have parallels with the ones we collect in our project! https://t.co/1qHR1Xw9eH

@katrina_tour @MerviKaukko @RiikkaKorkiamk1 @melmbarnes We also constantly balance between respecting our participants' contributions as artists and protecting their privacy as research participants. Our arts-based research is conducted with young refugees who came as unaccompanied minors to Finland, Norway and Scotland.

Great work by Nick and Elina from our Finnish team!

[DrawingTogetherProject @TogetherDrawing]

We can soon share:
- a blog post written by one of our participants of how music connects,
- an animation made by young refugees together with Nick Haswell and Elina Mantere,
- a quote video by Petter Korkman, presenting young refugees' settlement as navigation.
Stay tuned!

Our team (Nick, @MerviKaukko @MarteKFylkesnes and @PaulSulCELCIS) wrote a chapter playing with the metaphor of navigation: How young refugees in Finland, Norway and Scotland engage in social, moral and relational navigation when building new lives in their new home counties.
