Unity in Diversity is a community drop-in for asylum seekers and refugees hosted by the United Reformed Church in Waun Wen, Swansea. Here members from various backgrounds across the world meet and form a sense of community and togetherness, share food and are able to benefit from English classes as well as other training and advocacy activities. Members of the group are from diverse parts of the globe, including Sudan, Pakistan, Ethiopia, Egypt, Turkey, Albania, Cameroon, amongst many other countries. Natalie Paisey and Phil Williams have worked with this diverse group, whose members are often temporary and transient, to introduce a cultural exchange, engaging in a process of sharing singing, dancing, performance and conversation, to help build relationships and understanding, often where language forms an initial barrier. Participants sing, dance and perform – sometimes in spontaneous collaboration – and through taking part and being together in activities, they are able to learn about one another and their respective cultures. They share art, music, dance and stories as they build understanding and establish ‘common ground’ within this diverse community. As part of the process, Natalie has worked passionately to build bonds with the participants, to find out about their lives, their families, their journeys and their heritage as they in turn learn about Swansea, Wales and the culture they now find around them. Filmed by Natalie Paisey and Tim Stokes Edited by Natalie Paisey Choreographed by Phil Williams. Filmed as part of Swansea City Opera's 'Musical Routes' project. The Musical Routes project, supported by the Heritage Lottery Fund, highlights Swansea as a multi-cultural community shaped by a number of factors, including the heritage and background of community members within the City. Swansea has for many years been influenced by migrant populations, including those seeking refuge from atrocities in other parts of the world. These groups have their own cultural heritage that informs their identity. To help to gain an understanding of these groups, their backgrounds and importantly what they bring to modern-day life in Swansea, this project explores and records this heritage through music, singing, drama, film, costumes and dance, and works socially to engage the bonds between people and encourages a dialogue as to what they bring to the local community and how their heritage, culture and traditions impact on their environment in Swansea.
