Through craft activities with selected print materials, the workshop invites and encourages the Hong Kong migrant community to interact with the local community and unfold a pathway of social integration. Finally, all participants are free to emotionally support each other and receive support from another within the group. This happened shortly after the large wave of Hong Kong migrants arriving the UK after the 2019 social movement, and many have used the chance to process the trauma from the 2 years prior to their relocation.
