Liverpool Walk and Talk for Refugees
We want to host a series of language and culture events for refugees and asylum seekers. We call the programme Walk and Talk.
About the Project Creator
We established Bayswater Education because we know that education and travel are life’s greatest adventures. Our mission to inspire and educate begins in our beautiful, modern classrooms and extends to communities and cultures across the globe.
We provide a platform to effective learning through travel, accommodation, classes and activity programs and we offer structured guidance throughout your journey. We also want to extend our mission beyond our borders, so when you enrol with us we offer the same education to a disadvantaged person.
Bayswater College Liverpool has launched a new English language and culture programme.
Walk and Talk is a series of monthly events which brings together students from the college and refugees and asylum seekers living in Liverpool. The project aims for everyone to develop their English as they get to know Liverpool’s best cultural attractions and each other.
The idea was initially developed for logistical reasons. Local charities providing English classes to refugees and asylum seekers are often unable to meet demand due to a lack of classroom space. As a result, they can have waiting lists of up to 200 people who want to improve their English but have no access to classes. To provide more classes they needed to take teaching outside of the classroom.
