Our World Too

Our World Too is a global storytelling platform dedicated to rehumanising the narrative surrounding refugees and displaced communities globally. Across the world people seeking sanctuary have been portrayed as ‘others’ who are not ‘compatible’ with native values. Behind the labels and statistics used to describe them is a person, a human being whose life and experiences cannot be contained by a dehumanising narrative, a one-size-fits-all story of displacement or through numbers. We are determined to highlight the experiences of displaced communities from different contexts around the world and shed light on the news that doesn’t make it to our TV screens, to share voices that aren’t part of the mainstream and to amplify experts from the Global South. As a platform, we stand against the dehumanising and divisive rhetoric which attempts to divide us by creating false security concerns and ‘othering’ entire groups of people. We believe change lies with the people, with everyday citizens and those who are not in positions of power. By choosing storytelling, we aim to build connections and foster an understanding of why people leave home. We are decolonising and taking back the narrative to put it back where it belongs. With the people themselves.
