Asylum Link [a special place for me]

1 sound

Asylum link in Liverpool, at number 7 Overbury Street is an important place specially for asylum seekers. I noticed it's activities are vast and entertaining as the people who have obtained refugee status even frequently visit and participate at Asylum link. The best, most valuable thing I appreciate in Asylum Link is, they provide free breakfast and lunch for people on all four days, Mondays to Thursday, without fail. Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays it is closed at present. Also, time to time they donate used clothes, shoes, jackets etc as charity. In addition, they conduct a lot of activities of sessions like art, music, football, yoga, ESOL, cycling, rock climbing, gardening, drama etc. I unanimously say that out of all sessions and classes, the most popular session to me is drama. That means Afloat which I used to participate with at most interest, conducted and directed by the kind, talented and highly skilled young lady, . In addition to our kind, loving teacher, there are very few and kind, nice special people who have helped and guided us. I should have to mention at this stage as an essential gratitude to them. My special thanks to these people. This is why I have selected Asylum Link as the special place for me. I used to meet and get to know different nationalities all over the world with different knowledge, attitudes, qualities and behaviours. I used to take in everything I hear, notice and observe from them moderately and positively whether their attitudes and beliefs are right, wrong or negative thinking. We don't any arguments as five fingers are not same, respecting everyone.

Picton Play Soundwalk

Picton Play Soundwalk

Liverpool
Inspired by Stories, Mystery and Love, three short stories by Sophie Herxheimer, Hanan Issa, and Joelle Taylor, we invited community groups to respond to their neighbourhood and create an interactive sound walk, produced by sound artist and composer Sara Wolff. Working with Asylum Link, Capeesh and Damien John Kelly House, artists Dan Astles, Phoebe McSweeney and PJ Smith worked closely with their groups to think about moments and memories when they felt like Wavertree and Picton became their home, how they are guided by their favourite places and the times they felt loved living in the neighbourhood. After collecting voicenotes and recorded poems, Sara mapped the memories across the Picton and Wavertree neighbourhood on Echoes, a mobile application for immersive audio for specific locations. How to listen to the Soundwalk Soundwalks are best experienced using a handheld device. Make sure your Location Services are switched on, and that the Echoes app has permissions to use them. Wear headphones. If they have a noise cancellation feature, make sure to turn this off – both for your safety and also so you can hear some of the sounds of the environment as you walk. Please be aware of your surroundings, and take care when crossing roads. Children must be supervised by an adult at all times Please be kind and aware of people and their right to privacy when using the soundwalk, as locations are in public spaces.
