Afghan Oral Hisory: A Slice of Afghanistan in Wales

Our project would achieve the following: 1. Promote Understanding and Empathy: Unique stories and experiences of Afghan refugees in the UK will provide insights into their journeys, struggles, and triumphs, helping to break down stereotypes and build more inclusive communities. 2. Enhance Cultural Diversity: It will showcase their traditions, values, and heritage, which in turn will enrich the cultural fabric of our society. 3. Create Valuable Historical Records: Create a comprehensive archive of Afghan refugees which will be accessible to researchers, educators, and the public, highlighting the contributions and histories of Afghan refugees. 4. Support Social Cohesion: Strengthen social cohesion by facilitating dialogue and mutual respect between Afghan refugees and the wider community, through shared stories and experiences. 5. Empower Afghan Refugees: Provide a platform for Afghan refugees to share their stories and express their identities, empowering them and giving them a sense of belonging and recognition.
