The ‘Sunshine’ Project is funded by Oxfam, and it aims to enable Wai Yin to train a group of Chinese migrants - primarily women working on the margins of the formal economy - to carry out a peer-led participatory research to highlight their livelihood realities and increased risk to exploitation and hardship.

The first phase of this work aims to gain the confidence and trust of these migrants, improve their knowledge of employment and immigration rights and language skills to enable them to access support services.  During the second phase, the migrants will be supported to conduct the research using the Sustainable Livelihoods approach with their peers and draw out policy lessons from their experiences.

InTranslation

In Translation is a collaborative community art project exploring issues of migration & identity. Migrant women from several community groups around the North West will examine and reinterpret a series of 1920's and 1930's empire themed posters through a facilitated creative process lead by artist Jai Redman. The results of this four-month engagement project will be a co-curated exhibition of contemporary artworks alongside a series of the original posters not previously seen by the public on display for a period of 12 months in Manchester Art Gallery.
