Encouragement – Birds Crossing Borders
https://birdscrossingborders.wordpress.com/2016/06/14/encouragement
June 14, 2016. By Birds Crossing Borders. We are very pleased that Birds Crossing Borders has been recommended in London Calling’ s review of “Call my by my name: Stories from Calais and beyond” on 08 June. Tom Faber beautifully captures the essence of our project which simply seeks “to increase sympathy and understanding… it’s not providing solutions. It encourages us to think carefully and ask questions”. Read the full review here. Leave a Reply Cancel reply. Enter your comment here.

Today… – Birds Crossing Borders
https://birdscrossingborders.wordpress.com/2016/07/29/today
July 29, 2016. By Birds Crossing Borders. Today a year ago – on 29 July 2015 – a desperate journey of 733 would-be migrants crammed into two tiny fishing boats ended safely on the shores of Italy after a rescue mission by MSF. Photographer and film maker Paolo Pellegrin and writer Scott Anderson witnessed the delicate rescue mission and created the powerful multimedia documentary ‘Desperate Crossings’ for the New York Times which you can watch here.

Flutter – Birds Crossing Borders
https://birdscrossingborders.wordpress.com/2016/10/25/flutter
October 25, 2016. By Birds Crossing Borders. In a big flutter birds lift up into all four directions and the in-between ones, too…. Residents of the migrant camp in Calais have started new journeys of defiance, obedience, relief or surrender – responding to the determination of the French authorities to finally win control back over the camp and clear it off residents. Off the face of the earth. He photographs as well as the cards make a powerful statement. Leave a Reply Cancel reply. Birds Crossing Bord...

In Calais especially for unaccompanied minors as a Guardian report. But things look to be also literally up in the air for the Good Chance Theatre: set up last year as a temporary Theatre of Hope. To be hopefully set up elsewhere again, temporarily. Leave a Reply Cancel reply. Enter your comment here. Address never made public).

In The Jungle: Day 4. February 22, 2016. By Birds Crossing Borders. Our final day in The Jungle was meant to be a quiet one…. We were very happy with that choice because after 3 days of trying different things we knew that drawing and colouring were on demand and we could easily integrate our Bird Cards into that. We had already begun to feel quite at home in the little dome so this seemed the easiest and most fulfilling option. We are very grateful to Good Chance Theatre for hosting us for these past 5 ...
