Classes, Activities & Advice

Led by acclaimed authors Anna Perera and Catherine Davidson since 2018, the group offers a warm, inclusive space where members are encouraged to read aloud, discuss stories, and build fluency in English in a supportive environment.

For many of our community members, English is a new or developing language. The book and writing club provides not only a chance to practice reading and speaking, but also a meaningful opportunity to reflect, imagine, and connect with others through literature. It’s a space where everyone’s voice matters and diverse perspectives come together over shared stories. In a time when refugees, people seeking asylum and migrants often face isolation and uncertainty, our book club offers consistency, comfort, and the joy of learning.
