Loudspeaker: Unite, Organise, Transform
Refugee Week 2020

‘NaTakallam (“we speak” in Arabic) pairs displaced persons with learners around the world for language practice over Skype. The platform offers affordable, flexible, tailored language practice with native speakers for language learners while also providing a valuable income source to displaced people […] Along the way, users and conversation partners engage in a powerful intercultural exchange, frequently developing boundary-breaking friendships between worlds that are often polarized or cut-off in the media and political spheres.’

This session is sponsored by Ben & Jerry’s. This event will be hosted on video conferencing platform Zoom. A link to access the event will be emailed to attendees.

Loudspeaker! is hosting a week of free online activities for people in Norfolk so that we can come together to collectively learn and celebrate Refugee Week 2020. We have 500 free packs of Refugee Week materials for people in Norfolk. If you would like one DM us on social media or email LizzyOlley@map.uk.net or LeanneNye@map.uk.net
