Imagining Change
Episode description
A special episode in partnership with Bristol Refugee Festival: http://www.bristolrefugeefestival.org
Bristol refugee residents, asylum seekers and residents from host communities share how the changes we’ve seen during the pandemic have allowed them to imagine a better Bristol. From envisioning more outdoor education to hoping for increased community support, understanding and action: local people dream big. I interview Deasy Bamford, local activist and one of the directors of Bristol Refugee Festival and tell a story about two exhausted warriors.
