Museum of Calais
We are creating a digital 'Museum of Calais' commemorating the experiences of people who travelled through northern France to claim asylum in the UK. We are asking people who experienced this journey to share a picture of something they brought with them, and tell us a few things about what it meant to reach the UK. We will share one story a day on IMIX's social media accounts (we can also share longer stories on our blog, so please write as much as you want).The project is designed to allow people to stay anonymous, but if you want to share your name you are welcome to do so. IMIX is a charity trying to change the narrative around refugees and migration. You can find out more at https://imix.org.uk/ or follow us on Twitter @IMIX_UK.
