To help celebrate and bring awareness to Refugee Week UK 2022, we are pleased to introduce Season 2 of ‘Refugee Realities’, a podcast series created by students on the Forced Displacement and Refugees course in the Department of International Development. In the lead up to UK Refugee Week we’ll be releasing student-recorded podcasts each day. Like the course, the topics covered are eclectic. We range from a birds-eye perspective on the challenges facing refugee governance, covering the growing threat of climate-change to the reflections of the former head of the UN’s relief agency. The voices and experiences of refugees themselves are also of crucial importance. We speak to asylum seekers navigating life in the UK, Lebanon, and Poland. Along the way we also get a sense of some of the initiatives out there that are working to assist forcibly displaced people, whether by refugees in neighboring countries, local organizations right here in London, or international NGOs that are always looking for volunteers.
