Guildhall lit up for Swansea City of Sanctuary

Swansea Guildhall is being lit up to celebrate the 11th anniversary of Swansea becoming a City of Sanctuary. In 2010, Swansea became the UK’s second official City of Sanctuary – and Wales’ first – highlighting the area as having a culture of hospitality and welcome. Swansea Council is dedicated to offering welcome to sanctuary seekers. Lighting up the Guildhall was a way to celebrate this.

This material is part of the Covid Chronicles from the Margins project, funded by The Open University and the International Institute of Social Studies in the Hague. The project aims to highlight the impact of the pandemic on refugees, asylum seekers and undocumented migrants.
