Caring in migrant families: key messages and film screening

A talk and film about the unique and often overlooked challenges faced by families living across national borders.

Please join us to hear about the key messages from our project on Care, Inequalities and Wellbeing among Transnational Families in the UK, Spain, France and Sweden.

Lunch and refreshments will be provided. Families with children are welcome.

We will share the key messages from our research and launch the final report and recommendations. We will also show short films about the experiences of families involved in the research and the changes they want to see. The films were co-produced with family participants and Rank and File theatre.

Themes include:

• language barriers in accessing healthcare
• young caregiving and language brokering in transnational families
• challenges of accessing English for Speakers of Other Language courses
• barriers to family visits and family reunification.

In Leeds, the event will be opened by the Lord Mayor of Leeds, Cllr Abigail Marshall Katung, and Cllr Fiona Venner will provide a response to the project findings and recommendations.

There will be an opportunity to ask questions and discuss the project with team members from the University of Reading, University of Leeds, partner organisations and community researchers.
