Amplifying Voices - Episode 1: Scars are Great Flashbacks.

We are very excited to introduce our new Amplifying Voices podcast series. For this series, we worked with a group of six asylum seekers and refugees who wish to share their perspectives on the journeys that have brought them to Ireland. Before taking part in the podcasts, the participants attended a series of four workshops which involved an introduction to storytelling and learning basic podcasting skills of recording and editing. In our first podcast, we hear the story of Jennifer. Jennifer shares her educational dreams as well as the challenges associated with achieving her goals as an asylum seeker. It is a story of resilience, determination and hope. You can listen here: A huge thank you to Fieldfisher for supporting this project.
