What is North East Solidarity and Teaching (N.E.S.T.)?

Abstract

This paper explains how students can be used to help with the integration for the refugee populations within their local communities. North East Solidarity and Teaching are used as an example of this being carried out successfully, as they have produced a timetable of activities to encourage the integration of refugees and asylum seekers into the North East of England. This has reduced social isolation within the migrant population in this area and created a community of people that are able to communicate and respect one another’s background and cultures.
