This year Simple Acts is supporting Cityread London, the annual festival of literature that aims to bring reading to life for the city’s inhabitants, workers and visitors. Cityread London takes place each April and encourages the capital to simultaneously pick up a book and read it together. It is designed and managed by Stellar Libraries CIC http://www.cityreadlondon.org.uk/index.html.

On 20th April we will be holding workshops at two of Waltham Forest libraries (Chingford and Wood Street). We always love a good story, and A Week in December by Sebastian Faulks gives us ideas to take the young people and their families on a journey of discovery visiting themes of refuge and sanctuary, history, Kindertransport, London etc. The workshops are designed by the artist Orly Orbach (www.orlyorbach.com).

Have a look, read the book and as always - let us know!

Simple Acts and Refugee Week UK 2013 - Our History and Heritage!

This year Refugee Week UK and its partners are celebrating the influence and contributions refugees and migrants make to our history and heritage. Simple Acts and Refugee Week UK are planning our activities as we speak so please come back soon to find out what will be on offer. In the meantime you could pick up almost any of our calls to action, link it to a person in history, an event, your own family story, an object etc. and research and devise your own activity to celebrate refugees and migrants in UK history. If you are a school, a library or a community organisation, or an individual who really wants to make a difference you can always get in touch with us for a chat and more information. When you do that don't forget to log your activity on our action counter!

Have fun! And a big THANK YOU!
