Look at this beautiful artwork by the participants in our @NordForsk project Drawing Together! Exhibited now in Glasgow, Scotland; later in Norway and Finland. Please visit!

The first art exhibition of our project will open on 17.6. in Articulate Hub in Glasgow. Welcome visitors from near and far! We are excited!

This chapter is based on our Drawing Together-project, written by Nick Haswell, @MerviKaukko @MarteKFylkesnes and @PaulSulliva_ 👇Open access!

Marja Tiilikainen from our Finnish team, together with colleagues, has published an open-access book about family separation. Please check it out!

Please follow the link to an open-access text by Nick Haswell, @MerviKaukko @MarteKFylkesnes and @PaulSulCELCIS about how the participants of our Drawing Together-study navigate towards wellbeing!

A lovely feature story of our project Drawing Together 👇!

Great to see if the poetry, stories, and art by young refugees in this book have parallels with the ones we collect in our project! earthsleepswetravel.com

@katrina_tour @MerviKaukko @RiikkaKorkiamk1 @melmbarnes We also constantly balance between respecting our participants' contributions as artists and protecting their privacy as research participants. Our arts-based research is conducted with young refugees who came as unaccompanied minors to Finland, Norway and Scotland.

@MerviKaukko @RiikkaKorkiamk1 Great work! Had a similar experience - refugee kids were disappointed that we wanted to take their pictures from the back - with @melmbarnes

Great work by Nick and Elina from our Finnish team!

We can soon share: - a blog post written by one of our participants of how music connects, - an animation made by young refugees together with Nick Haswell and Elina Mantere, - a quote video by Petter Korkman, presenting young refugees' settlement as navigation. Stay tuned!

And then @MerviKaukko left Finland (not the project!) to join REACH (Research, Education, Action for refugees around the world) for a year as a @FulbrightFIN fellow at Harvard reach.gse.harvard.edu

Most of our team is back from a lovely summer holiday! Here are some highlights of the recent months (thread):

At @NordicMigration Conference in Copenhagen, @M_Tiilikainen @MarteKFylkesnes and @SA_McGregor presented on how young refugees negotiate family relationships in Finland, Norway, and Scotland virtual.oxfordabstracts.com/#/event/2938/s…

@UCL_EI @MetteLouiseBerg @andne @VerdascoAndrea @RefugeMvingWrld @TCRU_UCL You can also read a longer version of the article on the @NordForsk website here, as part of a collaborative report on 'Ukrainian refugees and the Nordics': nordforsk.org/2022/ukrainian… @TogetherDrawing @MahomeProject @EFFEXT_project @FrontiersSocial @migrant_edu #UkraineRussiaWar

Our team (Nick, @MerviKaukko @MarteKFylkesnes and @PaulSulCELCIS) wrote a chapter playing with the metaphor of navigation: How young refugees in Finland, Norway and Scotland engage in social, moral and relational navigation when building new lives in their new home counties.
