Exhibition: Volunteering, Displacement and Livelihoods, Photographs by Young Refugees in Uganda

The photographs featuring in this exhibition are taken by young refugees and capture their experiences of volunteering and everyday life.

Professor Sarah Mills (School of Social Sciences and Humanities) has been part of a wider international research team focusing on the kinds of voluntary labour practiced by young refugees and related themes via the Refugee Youth Volunteering Uganda (RYVU) project.

This exhibition is part of World Refugee Week (19-25 June 2023), the world’s largest arts and culture festival celebrating the contributions, creativity and resilience of refugees and people seeking sanctuary. To coincide with World Refugee Day, Professor Sarah Mills will give a talk, followed by a tour of the exhibition.
