Taller d’Art, Cultura i Creació has commemorated, as every 20th of June, the World Refugee Day, in order to try to raise awareness about the global refugee crisis and to claim the importance of a response at the local and international level. On the one hand, and within the framework of the Twinning between Sabadell City Council and the Sahrawi people, the Sabadell artist Belén Perea has made a video to make the invisible visible through various materials and using techniques such as storytelling and collage. Thus, the work focuses on the magnitude of forced displacement around the world and the work being done by the city of Sabadell to mitigate its consequences. In addition, the illustrator knows first-hand one of these projects, as she participated in the Solidarity Camps with Sahrawi refugees in Tindouf last year. On the other hand, TACC has collaborated with the City Council of Rubí in the development of the campaign 'Youth of Rubí with the Sahara', spread through the Instagram of Rubí Jove, so that the young people of the municipality know the reality of the refugees from Western Sahara.
Through a video made with the collaboration of students from La Serreta Institute and edRa School, and a live broadcast with Mahmuda Mohamed, a young Sahrawi resident in Barcelona, the young people were able to get out blindfold themselves and make themselves aware of the situation that this town has been living in for 44 years. Finally, as coordinating organisation for the Erasmus+ Key Action 2 project “Strategic Human Rights Meeting Point”, TACC launched a challenge on social media under the hashtag #RaiseYourVoiceforRefugees, with the collaboration of the other participating organisations. Through black-and-white photographs with their mouths covered and holding posters, we have sought to make the situation of refugees visible to raise awareness among young people about the human rights violations that forgotten conflicts cause.
