Multimedia project
From Refugee to Resident is a multimedia research project about new beginnings. Every week new people arrive in the city of Utrecht, coming from all corners of the world and settling into new houses and neighborhoods. Vluchtelingenwerk offers practical help to refugees during important moments such as on the day of the signing of the contract. For many people this move to a new house signifies the start of a new beginning. Yet until now little is known about how these first months in Utrecht are experienced by people who are newly arriving to the city. The aim of this project is to document people’s experiences and to reflect on it together. It invites you to share your ideas, experiences or photos of your move and your experiences settling into your new house and neighborhood.
What are your first impressions of your new neighborhood?
Were there nice, funny or difficult moments during the move?
Would you like to share your ideas about how to improve this process of moving to Utrecht?
Each journey is different and so is each new beginning. We hope you want to contribute your ideas, stories and photos of your first months in Utrecht to this project. Some of the pictures and stories can be selected to form part of a photo exhibition in Utrecht and will also feature on this site.
