TEAM BUILDING EVENT

On June 8th, at Aberdeen Art Gallery a strong collective of immigrant and
minority women came together in solidarity - 60 women and children from various
countries, including Mexico, Venezuela, Bolivia, Peru, Germany, China, Republic
of Ireland, India, Pakistan, Bangladesh, UK, US, Nigeria, South Africa,
Indonesia, Poland, Saudi-Arabia, and Kazakhstan. The women and children
interacted and stood by one another. In Aberdeen, we held a miniature United
Nations meeting that included participants from many cultural backgrounds and
worldviews.

33 nationalities, several faiths, or none at all, a wide range of experiences -
there is unity in diversity!

OUR EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR SAMEERA AHMAD'S BOOK FOR IMMIGRANT CHILDREN. 

WE HOPE TO SHOWCASE ETHNIC MINORITY WOMEN AUTHORS, ARTISTS, ENTERPRISES AND
STORIES TO ADVANCE THEIR INITIATIVES AND INSPIRE OTHERS.


GET INSPIRED

Welcome! We are a diverse bunch in Aberdeen. The capital of Europe's energy
sector is an amalgamation of different cultures, religions and ethnicities.

I hope you enjoy reading about the stories of some incredible ethnic minority
women who left their homes and made a new home in Aberdeen. Their journey to the
granite city, and their lived experiences are myriad but weaves a common thread
of themes of travelling for work, study, a better life, finding refuge from
wars, seeking love and finding a new purpose.
