Working with #ESOL students is a true privilege. It's not just about grammar. It's about sharing pain and finding peace.
This #RefugeeWeek, meet Sulaf who finds comfort in poetry.
Step into the world of refugees through her book of poems we made at @coleggwent. Feel the longing.

✨A big day for ESOL in Wales! ✨
I vividly remember how #trauma took control of my life and my first encounter with trauma in the ESOL classroom.
So proud of @acehubwales for driving forward the conversation on trauma-informed ESOL classrooms.

A fantastic day at the Traumatic Stress Wales conference @StressWales
Insightful, thought-provoking presentations and workshops. Inspiring conversations with people deeply passionate about #trauma. Great to see the collective drive to create a trauma-informed Wales

'Go Home Polish'
I rarely read, but this book won my heart at the first sight.
Two blocks in one cover - a photostory and collection of stories from the author's walk from Cardiff to Poland, asking people about #HOME
Thank you, @iwanowski77, for sharing this treasure with me 📖

"Often lived experience is seen as important for frontline roles, but for senior manager roles you don't see it mentioned in the job description"

@yusufciftci42 @refugeecouncil on the need for meaningful inclusion at all levels.

Start of the workshop:
Me: ' I have nothing to say.'
A few minutes later:
Me: I wish this workshop would never end.'
Thank you so much to everyone who attended for sharing your thoughts, ideas, and passion.
