Between 22nd and 25th February, as part of the Shahrazad project, over 200 students at schools across Norfolk will be working with a professional writer and a refugee to compose a series of Letters to Europe. These missives from the young people of the UK to their counterparts in Europe will form part of the international conversation about the future of Europe, and the hopes and dreams young people harbour for it.
These workshops follow on from those in October last year in which the young people looked at the story of the Strangers, refugees from the Low Countries who came to Norwich in the 16th century. Together they aim to raise awareness of Norwich as a City of Refuge, encourage understanding about refugees, and engage young people in creative writing activities.
