Refugee Week will take place this month between 15th and 21st June.
We are delighted to be able to offer a free Refugee Voices session, in partnership with NaTakallam on 18th June at 8pm, as part of Refugee Week. In this session, you will meet a conversation partner who will share their story and introduce the group to their language and culture.
Thanks to NaTakallam and Ben&Jerry, this session will be free to Mother Tongues, so please book your spot quickly by emailing francesca@mothertongues.ie.
