Créée en juillet 2022 avec le soutien du HCR Belgique-Luxembourg, Ukrainian Voices – RC est une association dirigée par des réfugiés ukrainiens, née de la volonté de transformer l’exil en solidarité. Unique en son genre, elle est majoritairement composée de femmes ayant fui la guerre avec leurs enfants, et s’est donné pour mission de faciliter l’intégration de ses membres dans la société belge, tout en veillant à leur protection et à leur bien-être.

Quand la guerre pousse à l’action : l’histoire d’Ukrainian Voices

Welcome to Belonging and Beyond: Exploring Belonging Through How We Live and Die, brought to you by Princess Alice Hospice with your hosts Rach Basak, Head of Community Involvement and Support and Sarah Dowd, Head of Inclusion.

In this series, we’ll have honest conversations about inclusion, belonging, and the barriers created in society for some. Together with guests from all walks of life, we’ll be unpacking big questions like: What does belonging look like? Who gets to belong? And how can we build communities where everyone feels seen and included?

We are excited to be here and hope it sparks reflection, connection, and maybe even change.
Today, we’re highlighting the experiences of refugees and displaced people, emphasising the vital importance of belonging and the opportunity to contribute to society as part of their journey. 

We are joined by Nurettin, a trustee at Elmbridge CAN — a local charity doing incredible work to support refugees and asylum seekers here in our community. Nurettin has also generously offered to share his own lived experience, helping us understand the challenges and triumphs that come with building a sense of belonging in a new place. 

If you would like to share your thoughts, views or be part of Belonging and Beyond please do get in touch at sarahdowd@pah.org.uk  and rachaelbasak@pah.org.uk

Belonging and Beyond: Finding Home.

My name is Hanna. I’m an artist, art therapist, and special education teacher. I’m Ukrainian and have been living in Estonia for three years now because of the war in Ukraine — it’s dangerous in my hometown, Kyiv.
I draw inspiration from the majesty of nature and from people whose words align with their actions.

My hobbies include collecting stones, playing the guitar, working with clay, and photography. I love gazing at the sky for a long time and feeling present in the moment.

Ep. 212: Hanna Davydova

U.S. aid cuts to Kenyan refugee camps under Trump have caused food shortages, education drops, and scarce sanitation, deepening hardship for displaced Black communities.

Trump Aid Slashes Devastate Kenya Refugees' Futures

I haven’t got a clue all that you’ve been through,
And even if I did, I’d still not know.
The risks you had to take, the price you paid for your mistakes.
The energy it took to make it go.
The time, the pain, the miles. And through it all, you smiled.

I wonder, if you’d known your search for a home
Would sometimes leave you feeling full of doubt.
If you’d even try, try so hard to get inside
When inside tried so hard to push you out.
But still, you persevered, and that, my friend, is why you are here - today.

You’re so brave - braver than anyone I know.
You gave all that you had, then dug down, gave some more.
That light that shines so bright, it led you through the darkest night.
And it keeps on shining still - ‘cause you’re so brave.

Your journey’s not yet done, in fact it’s just begun
So many miles behind you, but there’re more.
The prejudice, the hate, the pushback from the state,
Certainly not the things you bargained for.
But you have a friend in me, I’m here for you. Refugee.

You’re so brave - braver than anyone I know.
You gave all that you had, then dug down, gave some more.
That light that shines so bright, it led you through the darkest night.
And it keeps on shining still - ‘cause you’re brave.

Thank you to all those who shared there voices with us.

A few months ago, we were invited to curate a show for Sister FM and Refugee Week. HabibTati decided that we should create a sound piece.
 
"I have wanted to return to sound art and create my sounds for some time now to emphasise the importance of not only seeing but also hearing our voices in a non-orientalised way. An intentional approach that responds to the ongoing hate and racism towards migrants and refugees, as well as the ongoing genocide. An authentic way that allows us to take control of our collective struggles, educate ourselves and highlight the need for change"
  
The theme was 'community as a superpower,' so we created a piece dedicated to those who want their stories heard, specifically, those who identify as queer refugees. This 16.5-minute piece represents only a fraction of the millions of stories that go unheard, are silenced, or are blamed on in the media for failures of our government.
 
For many of us, whether from queer refugee backgrounds or not, refugee solidarity extends beyond borders. Within your local communities, please support refugee charities and events, if you can help people not only financially but also by being present and supportive.
  
End borders. 
 
Through sounds, sampling, cutting, editing, and loops, we hope we did you all justice. This piece is really special, and we cannot fathom how much we appreciate everyone who took part in sharing their voice from around the region and beyond. Please respect the decision for all voices to remain anonymous, and we will not reveal any identities of those who have participated. If you recognise who that is, keep it to yourself.

This PROSPECTS podcast episode explores young refugees’ rights to and at work. Despite international commitments recognizing their right to decent work, refugee youth continue to face legal, political, and practical barriers to full economic inclusion. Hasan Almatroud, a young Syrian refugee leader and Programme Coordinator for Amala Education in Jordan, and Shadya Abduljabbar, a Yemeni refugee in Ethiopia and Founder of Ethio Friends Foundation discuss their experiences, the challenges of navigating the labour market, and the importance of protecting and promoting youth rights at work.

Young, Displaced & Determined: Refugee Voices on Rights to and at Work

The majority of the world’s refugees live in countries with fragile economies, where opportunities for employment and self-reliance are often limited. With displacement lasting more than a decade on average, the question of how refugees can build sustainable livelihoods has become increasingly urgent.
In this fifth episode of Refugees at work – What are their Prospects?, Professor Alexander Betts and Bisimwa Mulemangabo discuss how refugees navigate labour markets, the barriers they face, and the innovative ways they create livelihoods. 
The conversation explores the diversity of refugee economies, from small-scale entrepreneurship to professional employment, and highlights how policies, host community dynamics, and private sector engagement can shape outcomes.
Crucially, the discussion emphasizes the role of refugee agency — refugees’ own voices, choices, and aspirations — in designing effective and lasting solutions. By centring refugees as economic actors rather than passive recipients of aid, the episode points to pathways that can foster dignity, inclusion, and shared prosperity for both refugees and host communities.

Great art almost feels like magic—it opens our minds to brand new ideas, and teaches us to see ourselves and our world more clearly. Of course, behind all great art, there are artists. And that’s where the real magic happens…

As we go beneath the art itself to explore how different artists do what they do, we see glimpses of the sorts of creativity, resilience, and bravery that lead to the art that moves our world. And maybe we can learn to borrow some of that magic for our very own thinking.

Join professional musician Emily Merrell for conversations with artists of all kinds. Together, we examine the mysteries of our own experiences, our muses and fears, our gifts and foibles, our beliefs about the origins of creativity, and the secret magic we’ve discovered in our unique creative processes.
