Refugee Action’s Salford Migrants Project is bringing Escape to Safety to Salford for Refugee Week.

An interactive multimedia installation that enables you to experience something of what it’s like to be a refugee seeking asylum in Britain, Escape to Safety is always hugely popular at the festivals and events we’ve taken it to. Even music star Michael Franti has been through it!

A great introduction to the issue for adults and young people from the age of 10 upwards, Escape to Safety is an emotional experience that combines real-life testimony with facts and figures.

Come down and try out the Escape to Safety labyrinth anytime during the week and experience first-hand the different stages a refugee goes through before seeking asylum in Britain.
