Love Africa is an organisation that help Africans refugees and asylum seekers artists living in UK to demonstrate their skills, talents and enable their participation, build confidence, facilitate self expression, celebrate diversity and connect groups.
Schools are good channels of communication and one of the ways of accessing young people who are the next generation and the hope for an inclusive future.

If young people are well informed about refugees issues they can play a big role in supporting the refugees and asylum seekers cause and contribute to challenging the stereotypes and barriers that currently exists.
