Global One Voice Empowerment Network invites refugee writers from around the world to join an exciting project: Voices of Home and Belonging: A Global Anthology of Refugee Life. We’re looking for 20 passionate individuals to contribute their stories, creating a powerful collection that highlights the diverse experiences, challenges, and hopes of refugees everywhere.
What’s the Project About?
This anthology aims to bring together personal stories, with each participant contributing ten pieces (around 1000 words each) drawn from their own lives. These stories will cover pivotal experiences, the challenges of building a new life, finding hope in hardship, and redefining what “home” and “belonging” mean. Each writer will also create ten original quotes to inspire others around the world.
What You’ll Get Out of It
Workshops and Mentorship: You’ll participate in two weeks of workshops with an experienced instructor who will help you refine your storytelling skills and make your narratives impactful.
Feedback on Your Writing: Throughout the project, you’ll receive personalized feedback to ensure your stories truly resonate.
Published Work and Global Reach: Your stories will be published in the anthology, which will be shared on various platforms to reach a wide audience. Plus, each participant will receive a copy of the final book.
Networking and Community: You’ll connect with other refugee writers, building a network of support and inspiration that could lead to future opportunities.
