The Sounds of Integration

The Strengths Approach in Practice

E61 - The Strengths Approach in Practice

Welcome to the podcast series of the UNESCO Chair in Refugee Integration through Languages and the Arts (RILA) at the University of Glasgow. 

We bring you sounds to make you think about integration, languages, culture, society and identity. A collection of academic musings, poetry, lesser heard voices and personal stories for you to enjoy and expand you horizons with. In short: a podcast for everyone with stories from the world, about the world, released fortnightly.

We work in collaboration with Glasgow Refugee, Asylum and Migration Network (GRAMNet) and its partners. Together, our aim is to promote creative, practical multilingual action for change at all levels of society to build capacity in research and action focused on fostering cultural expressions of heritage and diversity with displaced peoples, and academic freedom for those at risk.
