Today we have two short interviews for you with some wonderful people who are part of the Curious Motion community.

This episode is about sharing experiences from people who have come to Calderdale from other countries. A common connection seems to be the similar landscapes that Calderdale shares with other countries, in this case Syria and Iran - we explore this in this episode and chat about life in the area in general.

You'll hear first from Dalia and her daughters Fadila and Hasna, who have lived in Elland for seven years and are originally from Syria. They're now regulars at our workshops and sessions and I was delighted to sit down and chat to them.

The second interview is with the wonderful Mahsid Alavi who has recently joined our team as a project assistant. Mashid is an Iranian artist, project facilitator and community enthusiast. Calderdale has become a special place for Mashid since leaving her home country of Iran for a variety of reasons, including the landscape.

Settle in for these wonderful chats. I hope you enjoy them as much as I did.
