North East Solidarity and Teaching (N.E.S.T) Details
N.E.S.T is a Newcastle University Students' Union Go Volunteer project, which educates and empowers the refugee community in the North East. The project is for refugees and asylum seekers living in the North East of England, our primary focus is on teaching English. However, N.E.S.T offers a holistic care package which ensures learners move towards their goals of integerating into the community, gaining employment and beginning to live their lives again. Average sessions can have a group of 100 people with 3 or 4 different religions, over 10 different nationalities, different genders and sexualities, huge discrepancies in political beleif and everyone speaking different languages. A group so vastly diverse but all with the same purpose, to learn and to be happy and at peace with one another. N.E.S.T sessions offer a bubble of protection and security where learners can be themselves, learn, make friends and have fun.
