What we do

OUR ADVOCACY ACTIVITIES

The Three2Six Project believes that it is important for refugee children to have the opportunity to share their experiences, stories and opinions in their own voices. It is however important that this is done in a safe way, ensuring their privacy and dignity are respected. Each year, the Three2Six Project offers the children an opportunity to participate in an advocacy activity where they can express themselves and share a little of their story with you in the hope of increasing tolerance, understanding, inclusion and ultimately a celebration of diversity.

Leaving No Child Behind

The Three2Six project, in collaboration with Alliance Française of Johannesburg and the Consulate General of France in Johannesburg, hosted a photo exhibition titled “Leaving no child behind” to raise awareness of the living conditions of refugee and migrant children in Johannesburg. Here is a catalogue of it.
