iceandfire’s first play for young people is being used by Fostering Agencies as part of an innovative training package for those caring for unaccompanied minors.

“I thought that the performance and the workshop was spectacular! I think that workshops like these are a far more productive way of ‘learning’ for carers and social workers.”

Terri Verier, Senior Social Work Practitioner, NCH

The workshop includes exploring cultural stereotypes and looks at the discussion surrounding refugees and asylum seekers and the treatment of people coming to seek asylum in the U.K, concentrating on the experiences of unaccompanied young people. It provides a safe and creative forum to discuss questions and issues and look more deeply in to what life is like for young people seeking asylum in the UK today.

“All new to me, I learnt a lot. I would welcome more of this type of session.”

Participant, NCH Stratford, 2008
