Evidence notes added in 2026
- Role at the time. TGEU’s 2020–2022 activity report lists Farah Abdi as a communications intern from July 2021 and as Asylum and Communications Officer from December 2021. The earlier version of this archive page applied the later title to the August event; the attribution above has been corrected.
- The publication. Kehrer Verlag’s book record directly confirms the book’s subject, format, 75 colour illustrations, voice recording and video. Terms such as intimacy, resilience and joy describe the work’s themes; they are not measured outcomes.
