Full Description
"The only difference between you and me is a passport." These are the heartfelt words of many migrants and refugees seeking freedom and safety. For many, a passport is simply a means to travel, but for millions of migrants and refugees, a passport represents freedom, the right to live and work in other places and a better way of life. It is the golden ticket they need to live, to really belong. Hear Our Stories is a collection of poetry and prose about despair, hope, sadness, gratitude, and a sense of relief told by those who journey to the UK looking for a better life —
the opportunity to be themselves, to connect with relatives and families or to work and grow.
Imagine making a long journey around the world; each stage involves a stop-over, a delay. This anthology is divided into different chapters representing the many 'stop-overs' migrants face. Each stage of their journey is filled with fear and hope - constantly questioning if they will make it to their final destination.
TogetherintheUK and Victorina Press bring together a collection of deeply personal lived experiences of migrants and refugees as they make their journey to a new life in the UK.
