The Launching of ESOL DVD Film of Migrants Domestic Workers by British Council

J4DW group has worked with British Council in filming for ESOL Nexus Project for new Migrants Domestic Workers and Migrant Workers on  April 2012, and after a month BC has offered to make an event  for the launching of  ESOL dvd in a Kingsway Hall, Holborn  on Sunday17th June 2012. It was a very good learning exposure and experience for us in J4DW, we acted like real actors and of course we have to because we want justice for the real work situations of domestic workers, we learned a lot thought it wasn't easy being in front of camera with professional film makers.  We are very happy for the great opportunity for us to contribute in British education system. For J4DW and Unite the Union, Education should be accessible by everybody regardless of your status, who you are and what you are. Below is some of the pictures with British Council during filming.
