About this Event
A story is not only something you survive. It is something you can use.
Zac fled his home in search of safety. He hoped he had found it inBelfast— and was forced to flee again. Since then, Zac has chosen to share his story openly, and now delivers outreach with other young people: using what happened to him to help break down prejudice and misunderstanding and build real belonging and acceptance across our communities.
Hosted by Clare O'Neil, this session opens
into — Why a lived story reaches people that statistics cannot;
What it takes to keep telling a hard story, safely, again and again;
How outreach like Zac's turns one story into work a whole community can use;
What belonging actually requires from the people already here.
For anyone who wants to understand what people seeking safety in Belfast actually experience — and for the community workers, advocates and organisations who invite people to share.
