In October 2017 Sister facilitated workshops for Radiophrenia on experimental radio and sound making with the 16+ programme at Glasgow Clyde College, a unique programme supporting unaccompanied young asylum seekers and refugees from a range of backgrounds and countries. The 2017-2018 class, with an age range of 16-19, came together with Sister to produce their own radio work for Radiophrenia, inspired by and featuring sounds of their home countries and what they hear in their new home of Glasgow. Along with Radiophrenia the group also worked with Media Co-op to document the project.

The final piece WE ARE THE SAME, WE ARE THE WORLD was broadcast on Radiophrenia on November 9th 2017. 

An audio collage made up of every day sounds and interviews, intertwined with sounds from a range of countries and cultures. It features members of the 16+ programme at Glasgow Clyde College - the only one of its kind in Scotland, aimed at supporting unaccompanied young asylum seekers and refugees from a range of backgrounds and countries. It is a specialist ESOL (English for Speakers of Other Languages) course which incorporates creative arts, outdoor learning and extensive guidance. This year’s class, with an age range of 16-19, is made up of 22 young people who speak over 10 different languages. They have come together with the creative collective SISTER, to produce their own radio work for Radiophrenia, inspired by and featuring sounds of their home countries and what they hear in their new home of Glasgow.
