Explained in plain English

Who are 'asylum seekers'?

Asylum seekers are people who have left their country and are seeking protection from persecution or serious harm in another country. They apply for asylum and await a decision on their status. The Tunes Translated group includes asylum seekers, offering them a space to connect with others through music while they navigate this process.
