Queen Rania of Jordan has an international presence that she very appropriately use to highlight the plight of refugees around the globe. Earlier in the day, Rania attended the opening of the One Young World summit and later in the day she visited the Conway Education Centre in Belfast to meet with a group of asylum seekers, refugees, members of the local community, and representatives of the Belfast City Council to learn about the experiences of displaced people in Northern Ireland.
In 2015, Conway Education Centre introduced a number of programs to serve the city’s growing refugee population, including English language classes, a homework club for primary and secondary school students, and an annual summer school for refugee families. Run by teachers and trained volunteers, the programs aim to help refugees integrate into the community.
Joining the group were the representatives of the Art Route Collective, an initiative launched in 2016 to promote artistic and cultural activities within Belfast’s refugee and asylum-seeking community. Established by ArtsEkta, a local organization focused on community-building and cultural diversity, the Art Route Collective meet regularly to discuss experiences of refugees as asylum seekers and to develop their artistic talents.
