Michael Wyness has successfully bid for funding through the Warwick Creative Exchange. He will work with colleagues in the Centre for applied Linguistics and Coventry University in exploring processes of resettlement and identity formation among young refugees based at Positive Youth Foundation in Coventry. Coventry is at the forefront of helping young Syrian refugees and their families to resettle through the UK government’s Syrian Vulnerable Persons Relocation Scheme. The research will draw on innovative research methods from the creative arts and the social sciences in both examining and helping young Syrian refugees to negotiate the host country and culture in trying to develop a sense of who they are.
