The wait is finally over!  The first edition of ‘Seeking Sanctuary’
will soon be available!

Join us in celebrating the launch of this unique resource for raising
social awareness and fostering better understanding of the experiences
of asylum seekers in the UK.

‘Seeking Sanctuary’ is a character-based board game that explores
what it’s like living day-to-day through the UK’s asylum process.
This ‘serious’ game has been developed for use in education and
training, advising, advocacy and awareness-raising work for a range
of organisations and communities.  Through the power of experiential
learning, ‘Seeking Sanctuary’ promotes informed reflection and
dialogue on the current state of refugee protection in the UK.

At the launch you’ll get to:
* Play ‘Seeking Sanctuary’
* Meet the game’s creator, Jana Gigl, and the g.e.t. game team, along
with people who’ve inspired, contributed to and supported the
project’s development
* Learn about other g.e.t. game tools and projects
* Enter a raffle to win a ‘Seeking Sanctuary’ board game and other
prizes
* Mix, mingle and network
* Enjoy the music, dancing, food and drinks

This is a free event.  Everyone’s invited!  You don’t need to book, but
please let us know that you’ll be joining us:

* The ‘Seeking Sanctuary’ board game is offered at discounted
rates to asylum and refugee support organisations, and refugee
community organisations, that are operating on limited funds.  Please
