and Heritage Working Group has been formed to pursue the following key objectives:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Contribute to a rethinking of what constitutes refugee history, by amplifying refugee accounts that tend to be marginalized in state-centric accounts of displacement.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Raise awareness of refugee experiences and histories through the documentation and dissemination of archival, oral history, museum and other heritage resources and promote the role of refugees as researchers, policymakers and practitioners.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Respond to and support historical, heritage, archival, and oral history research interests from LERRN partners in the four geographic working groups (Lebanon, Jordan, Tanzania and Kenya).<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3

Through the <a href=\"http:\/\/al-jana.org\/programs-activities\/active-memory\/\">Active Memory Campaign<\/a>, Al-Jana collects oral testimonies from Palestinian refugees with particular attention to empowering experiences and cultural contributions, folk stories and songs, recollections of the uprooting, and accounts of life in Palestine. <a href=\"http:\/\/al-jana.org\/programs-activities\/\">Click here<\/a> to explore more of Al-Jana\u2019s work.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In October 2019, the Archives, Living Histories and Heritage Working Group <a href=\"https:\/\/carleton.ca\/lerrn\/2019\/lerrn-hosts-lebanese-filmmaker-hicham-kayed\/\">welcomed Hicham to Ottawa<\/a> for <a href=\"https:\/\/carleton.ca\/lerrn\/2019\/archive-and-display-five-conversations-on-lebanese-forced-migrations\/\">three days of workshops and the Canadian premiere<\/a> of his film \u201cAisle.\u201d The film documents two Palestinian refugees in Lebanon who made the difficult decision to travel to Germany, leaving behind family and culture for the chance at a life of freedom and opportunity. It highlighted the power of individual stories in understanding the human experience of being a refugee beyond the statistics.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Hicham also had fruitful discussions with Carleton University students and faculty on telling the stories of children and youth, archiving, documentary filmmaking and collecting oral histories.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 id=\"relevant-publications\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">Relevant Publications<\/h2>\n\n\n\n        \n\n\n                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                    \n\n\n\n<section class=\"w-screen px-6 cu-section cu-section--white cu-section--cards ml-offset-center md:px-8 lg:px-14\" data-attributes=\"&#x7B;&quot;numberOfPosts&quot;&#x3A;3,&quot;moreButton&quot;&#x3A;&quot;loadmore&quot;,&quot;blockType&quot;&#x3A;&quot;cards&quot;,&quot;contentType&quot;&#x3A;&quot;post&quot;,&quot;currentPage&quot;&#x3A;1,&quot;blockBackground&quot;&#x3A;&quot;white&quot;,&quot;numberOfColumns&quot;&#x3A;3,&quot;showImages&quot;&#x3A;true,&quot;showDates&quot;&#x3A;true,&quot;showTimeToRead&quot;&#x3A;true,&quot;showExcerpts&quot;&#x3A;true,&quot;showFilter&quot;&#x3A;false,&quot;taxName&quot;&#x3A;&quot;category&quot;,&quot;categories&quot;&#x3A;&quot;109,111&quot;,&quot;tags&quot;&#x3A;&quot;&quot;&#x7D;\" data-page=\"2\">\n    <div class=\"space-y-6 cu-max-w-child-5xl  md:space-y-10 cu-prose-first-last\">\n\n                \n                \n        <div class=\"cu-loading hidden text-center mx-auto h-6 w-6 animate-spin rounded-full border-4 border-solid border-current border-r-transparent align-[-0.125em] motion-reduce:animate-[spin_1.5s_linear_infinite]\" role=\"status\">\n    <span class=\"!absolute !-m-px !h-px !w-px !overflow-hidden !whitespace-nowrap !border-0 !p-0 ![clip:rect(0,0,0,0)]\">\n        Loading&#8230;\n    <\/span>\n<\/div>\n\n                                        \n        <p class=\"cu-no-posts hidden\">\n            No\n            category\n\n            posts are available.\n        <\/p>\n\n                <div class=\"cu-column cu-component not-contained mx-auto grid max-w-5xl md:grid-cols-3 gap-6 md:gap-10\">\n                        \n                    \n\n<div class=\"not-prose cu-card rounded-lg @container md:max-w-xl flex flex-col gap-3 bg-white shadow-lg shadow-cu-black-100 group duration-300 ease-in hover:scale-[1.02] hover:shadow-cu-black-200\">\n\n            <figure class=\"mb-2 overflow-hidden rounded-t-lg\">\n            <img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/its-production.s3.amazonaws.com\/gutenberg\/cutheme-plugin\/images\/thumbs\/announcement.jpg\" alt=\"Pre-selected placeholder image\" width=\"600\" height=\"400\" \/>\n        <\/figure>\n    \n    \n        <header class=\"flex flex-col gap-3  px-6 first:mt-6\">\n        <div class=\"flex flex-row w-full gap-1\">\n                        <time datetime=\"2025-05-22T20:00:00-04:00\" class=\"block italic text-sm text-cu-black-600\">\n        May 23, 2025\n    <\/time>\n\n                    <\/div>        \n        \n    \n    <h2 class=\"line-clamp-3 text-lg font-semibold text-cu-black @sm:md:text-xl leading-6 @sm:md:leading-8\">\n        Call for Essays: Gunn Prize for Immigration History\n    <\/h2>\n\n            <\/header>\n\n\n            <div class=\"flex flex-col px-6 dark:text-white\">\n            <p class=\"text-base text-cu-black-700 dark:text-white \">\n                The Gunn Prize celebrates excellence in historical research on immigration to and settlement in Canada.
