NaTakallam Refugee Voices UK Sign up form

Thank you for showing interest in the Refugee Voices experience. NaTakallam (“we speak” in Arabic) is an award-winning, woman-founded social enterprise that delivers high-quality, impactful language, translation, and cultural exchange services by vetted and highly-skilled refugees and displaced persons worldwide. Led by NaTakallam’s guest speakers, the Refugee Voices experience provides an open conversation about LPs’ personal stories, the context that forced him/her to leave, the challenges of rebuilding a life, and/or, if availability permits, build connections through a mutual interest in the arts or music. For Refugee Week, ice cream activists Ben & Jerry’s are teaming up with NaTakallam to offer this impactful experience to teams around the UK. *Please keep in mind that it takes us approximately 2-3 weeks to fully prepare for each unique experience. This gives the team sufficient time to select and prep speakers for your event. Have questions? Email sally.wehbi@natakallam.com.
