Organisation

Local young people told us they were unaware of how Gujarati and Ugandan communities came to settle in Leicester. This project supported young people to research the heritage of Gujarati and Ugandan Asian people who migrated and settled here. The young persons responsibilities included, weekly meetings, interviewing older community members, collating materials and performing as part of the exhibition.
