Flight Paths: Yacub in Dubai

Last week marked Refugee Week here in the UK. As our contribution to the on-going discussions and events, Kate Pullinger and I are going to release one new ‘Flight Paths’ story every day for the next five days.

These five new short mini-stories take five plot hotpoints, or flashpoints, to animate significant moments in the lives of the characters that have begun to emerge through the project’s history of discussion and collaboration.

We hope you like the stories. For more information about Refugee Week, go to http://www.refugeeweek.org.uk
