Shelter Design Project: ‘Healthy Housing for the displaced’

Tues 13^th November, 4pm – 6pm, Room B3, Institute of Criminology, Sidgwick Ave. Cambridge CB3 9DA

‘Healthy housing for the displaced’ is a project that aims to develop a new science of shelter design based on multi-criteria optimisation that puts the social well being, health and thermal comfort of the shelter occupants at the center of the design process and allows an agile response. It uses the current shelter occupants as part of the research team, rather than just a cohort to study.

Speaker: Dr John Orr, Department of Engineering (Cambridge)

Lost in Europe: the disappearance of migrant children

19^th November 2018, 5pm, Room 4 Mill Lane Lecture Theatre Cambridge

Over 10,000 child migrants have gone missing since arriving in Europe, according to Europol. While some may have travelled to family or friends in Europe without reporting it, it is feared that many have fallen into the hands of drug gangs, human traffickers, while others have been sold into the sex industry. The goal of this project is to recover the stories of these missing children.

Featuring journalists Ibrahim Einashe, Sanne Terlingen, Geesje van Haren, and Cecilia Ferrara

The Cambridge Migration Society are co-hosting this event with the Critical Theory and Practice Seminar Series and the Pembroke Refugee and Migrant Seminars. Learn more here

The Itinerary - Tracing the Refugee Routes

26^th November 2018, 05:30 PM , SG1 Alison Richard Building, 7 West Road, Cambridge CB3 9DT

Talk & discussion about The Itinerary exhibition with photojournalist Dimitrios Bouras, followed by an audience Q&A and reception.

Eleven photojournalists have followed the trek of refugees from their point of origin – the Middle East and Sub-Saharan Africa – into Europe through the various stopover sites in Greece and the Balkans. The photographs in this exhibition document the refugees’ unimaginable struggles on their way to safety but also their routine, everyday activities and small moments of joy. Covering some of the distance between refugees and us, the photographs remind us that these are ordinary people on an extraordinary journey. They also make the viewer party to the experience and perspective of these eleven eyewitnesses to a great humanitarian disaster.

This event is free and open to all, booking is recommended.

The Itinerary exhibition will run from 12 November until 21 December 2018. It is located on the ground floor, first and second floors of the Alison Richard Building.
