"Building bridges across communities: Creating balanced narratives of refugees and asylum seekers in Australia"
Researchers for Asylum Seekers from the University of Melbourne want to interview anyone who has been a refugee or asylum seeker in their life and WANTS TO HAVE THEIR ‘AUSTRALIAN STORY’ TOLD.
We want to break down negative stereotypes and myths about refugees and asylum seekers not fitting in in Australia. We want to interview refugees and asylum seekers about their lives in Australia and publish their stories in newspapers, magazines, on our website and broadcast them on the radio.
You can tell your story your own way, interview a friend that wants to tell their story or have one of our friendly researchers interview you. If you like, you can also attend one of our free workshops on how to conduct radio interviews.
