sanctuary and culture training programme

D6: Culture in Transit is inviting individuals working across the North East cultural sector to participate in a bespoke training programme focussed on asylum law, support and creating environments of care.

The training programme is part of Sanctuary and Culture, a new programme working with artists and bringing together the cultural and voluntary sectors in the North East to share knowledge and strengthen provision for creative professionals seeking sanctuary.

Co-designed and facilitated by the West End Refugee Service based in Newcastle upon Tyne, the training programme will help participants build their knowledge and understanding of the constructs and day to day realities of the UK’s immigration system. It aims to provide space for a shared and deep consideration of practice, process and behaviours in the cultural sector that uphold systems of oppression and inequalities. It aspires to instigate change.

Training programme schedule:


Workshop 1 : Busting Myths around Asylum (Tuesday 15th June, 10am until 11:30am)

Workshop 2: Understanding Asylum Law and Reform (Tuesday 22nd June, 10am until 11:30am)

Workshop 3: Understanding Asylum Support (Tuesday 29th June, 10am until 11:30am)

Workshop 4: Creating, environments of care through deep listening, empathy and understanding where the boundaries lie (Tuesday 14th September, 10am until 11:30am)
