About this listen
Home can be the house you grew up in. The country you were born in. It can be a person, a feeling, or an unidentifiable sense of safety. Sometimes people leave home because it isn’t safe, sometimes they leave to become who they are supposed to be, and sometimes the decision to leave is made for them. The search for safety, or the decision to leave it behind is something that joins all of today's stories.
- Dymtro, a teenager confronted with a decision, after the Russian invasion of his home country, Ukraine.
- Elnaz shares a story about her Mother who, against all odds, took a leap of faith when leaving Iran with her children, to find a new home in the UK.
- Fleeing Singapore, from a life of transphobia, asylum seeker Yuna explores some of the moral complications which this journey to London has opened up.
- Bradley, a university student who has left the comforts of his family home, figures out how to run a washing machine and what it really means to be self-sufficient.
- Matty, who, with the distance of time, reflects on being made homeless at 15, and the subsequent years that followed
