Podcasts about refuweegee

In this episode, I'm introducing you to my friend and fellow Scot and sword enthusiast Adam Buksh. We met whilst pointing sharp things at one another and the rest as they say is history.For Adam,  home is Scotland. He told me "I love being Scottish, sometimes. Depending on where you are, people are welcoming to others. I love that there is a charity called Refuweegee. It sums up how the nation treats those who seek shelter. You can still be your identity but will be integrated into society. It's also evident in the evolution of the South Side Asian accent. It's a beautiful blend of Asian inflection and colloquialisms with Glasgow Patter. Things like this are really magickal to me." He is a mixed-race, Glasgow-based, actor, writer, voiceover artist and Continuity announcer for STV. He loves to tell other people's stories.We talk about what it means to be Scottish, the power of increasing representation in the arts and what Adam would love to see happening in the industry. There's a lot of magick in this episode and I can't wait to hear what you're favourite part is.

Leyla Kazim and producer Robbie Armstrong explore the central role of food in building community, shaping identity and providing culturally appropriate spaces for refugees and asylum seekers in Glasgow, resettled in the city as part of the UK Government's asylum dispersal policy. Leyla speaks to Selina Hales, founder of charity Refuweegee, which distributes welcome packs and emergency food parcels, runs community meals and organises events for people starting a new life in Glasgow. Teresa Piacentini of the Glasgow Refugee, Asylum & Migration Network outlines how the dispersal system works, the changing landscape in Glasgow, and how food is used to establish community, identity and belonging for those seeking refuge or making a new home in Scotland. Ibrahim Kamara and Arij Alnajjar take Leyla out for lunch, where they discuss their experience in the asylum system, and how crucial food has been in helping them reclaim their identity and share their culture and cuisine with friends in a foreign country. Producer Robbie Armstrong visits the Garnethill Multicultural Centre to meet development worker Vivien Opiolka. He attends their community meal, and hears from service users about the importance of shared meals for those in the asylum system. Robbie shows Leyla around his neighbourhood of Govanhill, Scotland's most multicultural area, and talks about its diverse array of cuisines, restaurants and affordable supermarkets. We hear from councillor Roza Salih, herself a Kurdish refugee and member of the legendary activist group the Glasgow Girls. She visits Kurdish kebab takeaway Shawarma King to toast owner Majed Badrekhan on his takeaway being crowned ‘best kebab in Scotland' two years in a row. Closer to home, Leyla visits the Cyprus House restaurant in the Turkish Cypriot Cultural Association in Green Lanes, North London, where she reflects on her Cypriot heritage, her dad's escape from war-torn Cyprus, and why food is a central part of her identity. Presented by Leyla Kazim. Produced by Robbie Armstrong.

The Manston scandal and Braverman's bluster lay our disastrous immigration policy bare. And just when we need more workers, Keir Starmer comes out against looser rules.

This is a huge turning point for human communication.” – Nina Schick  “In Glasgow, you're a Weegee.

This episode of Greenbelt's ‘Somewhere To Believe In' podcast takes a different form. It's a one-off.It knits together 45-minutes of reflection, conversation, music and prayer in the form of a listen-and-share service to mark the festival's 2021 August Bank Holiday weekend incarnation (its 48th) – when only a fraction of the wider Greenbelt community could actually physically be together at the Prospect Farm pop-up camping gathering. The hope is that the audio form of the service will give everyone the chance to share and be connected in a unifying act of remembrance – wherever they are. Ideally, the audio is designed to be shared in and listened to at 11am on Sunday 29th August. But, of course, it can be listened to at any time. Again and again.The podcast takes its title from a wonderful poem by the poet Roger Robinson. It also features music from Soul Sanctuary Gospel Choir and the Wild Goose Resources Group, conversations with activists from Christian Aid, Trussell Trust and Refuweegee and readings and prayers led by Greenbelt's from all corners of the UK. It is lovingly curated and narrated by Pádraig Ó Tuama – poet, theologian, and conflict mediator. (Pádraig also presents 'Poetry Unbound', a podcast from On Being studios.)____ORDER OF SERVICEDownload the order of service here____SUPPORTLast year – despite our not being together – you gave an incredible £33,000 in response to our service appeal. This year, let's see if we can top that generosity!This year, your generous giving will be split 50/50 once again.50% will go towards the vital work that our partners Christian Aid and Trussell Trust do to challenge, advocate, develop and support – globally and domestically.And 50% will stay with us here at Greenbelt as we work to make sure the festival remains sustainable in these most challenging of times.

The Braw and The Brave is a podcast about people and their passions. N.B. This episode contains some strong language. Episode 124 is in conversation with founder and Director of Refuweegee Selina Hales, who in 2015 decided to spread some kindness to forcibly displaced people arriving in her beloved city of Glasgow. Providing over 5000 welcome packs to date, Refuweegee gained charitable status in September 2016 and have extended their incredible work through a variety of projects and initiatives in connection with partner organisations, schools and community groups to provide food, clothing and a wealth of support. With an army of volunteers and dedicated staff, Refuweegee is reactive to the situation, always ready to lend support and call on the people of Glasgow to step up and help those in need. Selina recounts the journey of Refuweegee thus far and why, despite the difficulties and injustices she is witness to on a daily basis, she is ever-positive and loves the people of Glasgow.
