Do we actually listen? Refugees need their experiences and journeys shared. When we look at these stories, we see an undeniable divorce between what we hear and the refugee experience. It’s the root cause of the refugee problem – a lack of employment, the denial of basic rights, and limited access to opportunities. These are all symptoms of the underlying stigma facing refugees when they arrive at their destination of refuge.
We are four University of Sydney students with a bold ambition to transform the conventionally conservative theatre arts industry through the marriage of emerging creative art-forms and the ever-more-relevant refugee story.
Hiraeth is supported by Venturetec and Nous House. Our team was one of 57 (out of 50,000+ applicants) selected to compete in the Hult Prize Regional Finals in London in March, 2017 (run by The Clinton Foundation and Hult International Business School).
