Another Europe is Possible
BritCits has been contacted by a fellow campaigner, Zoe Gardner, in relation to a Valentine's Video Project. Zoe is keen to speak with all
sorts of couples to participate in a video campaign telling the not enough heard story about the positives of immigration - that love that
has no regard for borders. The aim is to demonstrte in a tangible and understandable way the
benefits immigrants bring to the lives of the Brits who fall in love with
them.
The couples should
comprise of one British national and one foreign partner - in the UK, or navigating the rules to try and be allowed in. The videos will tell a universal story about each couple in a 2-minute video. Couples will talk unscripted
about how they met and fell in love. Discussion of immigration rules on the family is optional. The goal though is to get across a pro-migrant message
The videos will be short, sweet and
depending on you, even humorous :)
The idea is to share
these videos, starting on Valentine’s Day, and encourage others to make and
share their own, to create a library of positive stories celebrating the love
between people, regardless of their origin. A suitable tag-line and hashtag is
in the works…
The videos will be
filmed on one day (probably very early February) in London, exact date and
location TBC. If you are part of a divided family, Zoe thinks showing a Skype conversation would be quite powerful.
For the tech savvy who want to take part themselves, please do upload your own video using the hashtag (TBC) from Valentine's Day.
