Join Adnan from Syria with the National Literacy Trust on the Yorkshire Coast at Mrs Lofthouse's Emporium on Tuesday 17 June, 3.40pm-5pm, for a special story time to mark Refugee Week.
Settle down as we share a story together and discover the experiences of those who must leave their homes. Weβll be exploring the Moominsβ journey across the sea in Moomin: The Treasure and thinking about how simple acts of kindness can help us support those who are new in our community.
You will then have the chance to ask Adnan about his lived experience as a former asylum seeker; What it is like for asylum seekers and refugees arriving in England? What simple acts can we do to be kind to refugees in our community and what do these simple acts mean to those who are new to our town?
