Roda Madziva on helping connect refugee families and local communities

Dr Roda Madziva led a project as part of the University of Nottingham’s Institute for Policy and Engagement civic engagement initiative, undertaken in partnership with Ignite futures and Nottingham and Notts Refugee Forum.

Alongside playwright Andy Barrett, she worked with refugee families through workshops designed to create narratives based on their life journeys, memories and associations from food and aromas. This was a step towards reducing the barriers between the refugee families and their local university community as well as building on the university’s civic engagement vision.
