Our Story

Hikayetna is a not-for-profit community organisation based in London.

Our mission is to empower the local community through enhancing their voices.

Our programmes offer skills training and mentoring to support refugees and migrants into successful careers.

Hikayetna is a multimedia, collaborative, creative initiative that has helped young refugees express themselves through writing, storytelling, and photography since 2014.

We design projects that empower our local community and strength, young people. We create platforms to amplify the underrepresented voices and organise activities that unite different communities

Hikayetna, meaning ‘our story’ in Arabic, is a new art project.
Hikayetna is a non-political and independent initiative that encourages, develops and aids communities in need while promoting tolerance, love, humanity and cultural values.

This initiative is about finding common grounds and interests between people, it neither promotes political agendas nor religious ones. It is about cohesion, integration and bringing communities together through culture and art.
