0:00:02 > 0:00:03You ready?

0:00:24 > 0:00:26Hi. Welcome to my house.

0:00:26 > 0:00:28My name is Adel. Come on in.

0:00:30 > 0:00:35I'm 12 years old and I live in Bristol with my three sisters -

0:00:35 > 0:00:41Sara, Ola and Lylas - and my new baby brother Omar.

0:00:42 > 0:00:45Goal!

0:00:45 > 0:00:48I do everything with my best friend Elijah.

0:00:48 > 0:00:51Oh, my gosh, can I take your picture?

0:00:51 > 0:00:53But that's only half my story.

0:00:53 > 0:00:56I didn't grow up in the UK.

0:00:56 > 0:00:58I was born in Syria.

0:00:58 > 0:01:00I only came to the UK three years ago.

0:01:02 > 0:01:04The war started when I was seven years old

0:01:04 > 0:01:07and my family had to leave our home country.

0:01:08 > 0:01:16I want everyone around the world to know that being a refugee is not

0:01:16 > 0:01:18as easy as it looks.

0:01:20 > 0:01:22It took me a long time to settle here.

0:01:25 > 0:01:28And other refugees are still fleeing the war to Bristol.

0:01:30 > 0:01:31Let's go.

0:01:31 > 0:01:33There must be something I can do...

0:01:33 > 0:01:35Do you know if they speak English?

0:01:35 > 0:01:38..to make them feel a bit more at home.

0:01:38 > 0:01:39- Hello.- Hi.- Hello.

0:01:48 > 0:01:53Today is the start of my third summer in the UK.

0:01:53 > 0:01:57This is beans and then this is aubergine.

0:01:57 > 0:02:02We've got watermelons and cheese.

0:02:02 > 0:02:06'When I moved here, it was the biggest thing to happen in my life.

0:02:07 > 0:02:13'In Syria, life was more comfortable but then, when we had to come here,'

0:02:13 > 0:02:17it felt like we kind of had to start from scratch again.

0:02:17 > 0:02:19It's all tangled.

0:02:19 > 0:02:23One thing that helped us was meeting other Syrians in Bristol.

0:02:23 > 0:02:25I like that bracelet.

0:02:25 > 0:02:29'And today, we're all having a big party to celebrate Eid.

0:02:29 > 0:02:32'Everyone gets together.

0:02:32 > 0:02:35'There might be some new refugees

0:02:35 > 0:02:40'because people are still trying to go to a safe country.'

0:02:52 > 0:02:56All my friends, like here, some of them are refugees

0:02:56 > 0:02:59and some of them are not.

0:03:05 > 0:03:10Two or three families come to Bristol from Syria, like,

0:03:10 > 0:03:13every, maybe, five or six months.

0:03:13 > 0:03:19I can remember myself being in their position three years ago

0:03:19 > 0:03:21and I felt anxious.

0:03:24 > 0:03:27These are Badr and Ahmed.

0:03:27 > 0:03:32Ahmed is a bit like me but he's been here only for four months.

0:03:33 > 0:03:39'I feel lucky that I left Syria before it became a war zone,'

0:03:39 > 0:03:42but some people are not quite as lucky.

0:03:42 > 0:03:45Lots of our family is in Syria.

0:03:46 > 0:03:51My nan is in Syria right now and I can't get to her.

0:03:53 > 0:03:56'You're here celebrating, but then there are people back in Syria

0:03:56 > 0:03:58'who are suffering.'

0:04:06 > 0:04:09Syria feels a long way away from here

0:04:09 > 0:04:12and missing family did make it hard to settle.

0:04:13 > 0:04:17We've also moved around a lot since we arrived here.

0:04:18 > 0:04:21I came back through Cardiff and then

0:04:21 > 0:04:25we crossed the bridge, and then we came to Bristol.

0:04:25 > 0:04:31I felt scared because it was totally different from Syria.

0:04:31 > 0:04:36Syria might be somewhere there, going, like, there.

0:04:37 > 0:04:41I can speak the language properly.

0:04:41 > 0:04:46The language wasn't my first language, which is Arabic.

0:04:46 > 0:04:50When people showed me around, it made me feel more welcome.

0:04:55 > 0:05:00'I think there are lots of boys and girls that arrive here, like,

0:05:00 > 0:05:04'every few months, and it would feel good,'

0:05:04 > 0:05:11to help out to someone that's my age, make them feel welcome.

0:05:11 > 0:05:13'I think I should do that.

0:05:14 > 0:05:16'But I can't do it alone.'

0:05:20 > 0:05:25'Tonight, my best friend Elijah has invited me around for a sleepover.'

0:05:25 > 0:05:30I want to ask Elijah if he wants to help me to introduce

0:05:30 > 0:05:34new Syrian refugees to Bristol.

0:05:34 > 0:05:37Now I'm ready.

0:05:38 > 0:05:42No, no, no, no. No, no, no.

0:05:43 > 0:05:44No!

0:05:45 > 0:05:49- Is it alive?- Yeah!- You have a go, you have a go.

0:05:49 > 0:05:51'Just like me, Elijah wasn't born here.

0:05:51 > 0:05:53'He is from Canada.

0:05:53 > 0:05:58'When I met Adel, we both came to school on the same day and we were

0:05:58 > 0:06:00'both new students.'

0:06:00 > 0:06:01- Get down, get down!- No!

0:06:03 > 0:06:05'I can't say I understand how he feels cos I don't,'

0:06:05 > 0:06:08but I'd be fuming if I had to leave

0:06:08 > 0:06:12because of like a war or something.

0:06:12 > 0:06:13Where is it? Oh, there it is.

0:06:15 > 0:06:16There it is. OK.

0:06:18 > 0:06:20- I got it.- Yay!

0:06:25 > 0:06:28We could potentially never have came here...

0:06:28 > 0:06:31at the same time and could like never have been friends,

0:06:31 > 0:06:35if you think about it. Once you settle in and, like,

0:06:35 > 0:06:39if you enjoy being here, then you think of it as home.

0:06:39 > 0:06:42To me, my true home is Syria.

0:06:42 > 0:06:45Yeah. If you came, like, willingly,

0:06:45 > 0:06:48it would probably be more home to you, but...

0:06:48 > 0:06:50Part of me says, like,

0:06:50 > 0:06:55you should start to call it home because, like,

0:06:55 > 0:07:00you never know when or if the war's ever going to end.

0:07:00 > 0:07:07As soon as I, like, made good friends, like you, I knew I was

0:07:07 > 0:07:08at home.

0:07:08 > 0:07:15So...my plan over the summer is to help, like,

0:07:15 > 0:07:20new Syrian refugees settle in Bristol.

0:07:20 > 0:07:22So would you like to help?

0:07:22 > 0:07:24Yeah, totally, yeah. I feel like...

0:07:24 > 0:07:26That would be really good.

0:07:26 > 0:07:30I should help them with my best friend as much as I can,

0:07:30 > 0:07:32- that would be good.- Yeah.

0:07:32 > 0:07:40I know a boy, so maybe we could help him out and show him around.

0:07:40 > 0:07:46'It made me feel pretty excited that we were going to do this together

0:07:46 > 0:07:48'and not alone.'

0:07:50 > 0:07:51Because he's my best friend.

0:07:53 > 0:07:55Instructions. Yes! He died.

0:07:59 > 0:08:03I think it's really great that Adel's going to do that for others...

0:08:04 > 0:08:05..because he doesn't have to,

0:08:05 > 0:08:08but he chooses to because he knows what it's like.

0:08:10 > 0:08:14'I think we're going to stay up until, like, I don't know,

0:08:14 > 0:08:16'11 or 12 o'clock.'

0:08:27 > 0:08:29ALARM RINGS

0:08:40 > 0:08:44Ahmed is starting a new life in the UK

0:08:44 > 0:08:46and this is his first summer here.

0:08:52 > 0:08:55- TRANSLATION:- 'We wake up in the morning and remove all our things.

0:08:59 > 0:09:01'In Syria, we had four rooms

0:09:01 > 0:09:04'but here we live in one and can't move around properly.'

0:09:08 > 0:09:12Ahmed's dad used to run a business in Syria,

0:09:12 > 0:09:14but has had to find a new job.

0:09:14 > 0:09:18So, for now, the five of them are living in this small flat.

0:09:21 > 0:09:24- TRANSLATION:- We do everything in this room.

0:09:35 > 0:09:37'I stay inside all day because

0:09:37 > 0:09:40'I don't know much English or my way around here.

0:09:43 > 0:09:44'We only know two shops.'

0:09:48 > 0:09:50I win.

0:09:50 > 0:09:52Yes! I win.

0:09:52 > 0:09:53Yes!

0:09:57 > 0:10:00When fighting started in Ahmed's hometown,

0:10:00 > 0:10:02life there changed completely.

0:10:10 > 0:10:13- TRANSLATION:- One of my friends died when a bomb fell

0:10:13 > 0:10:14near a park they were playing in,

0:10:14 > 0:10:17so, after that, we stopped going outside.

0:10:24 > 0:10:27We would count the bombs. Every five seconds, we would hear one.

0:10:29 > 0:10:31When it was bad, we'd hide in the bathroom.

0:10:31 > 0:10:33We even ate in there.

0:10:35 > 0:10:37It was really hard finding food.

0:10:39 > 0:10:43We didn't have enough gas, so it was hard to cook food properly.

0:10:44 > 0:10:45So we had to leave.

0:10:57 > 0:11:02The ball go under the bed and then my brother tried to get it.

0:11:05 > 0:11:08- TRANSLATION:- We get bored, so we invent new games to play.

0:11:11 > 0:11:15'I would feel better and less scared if I got to know more of Bristol.'

0:11:16 > 0:11:19I remember when Bristol felt strange and new.

0:11:22 > 0:11:25And Ahmed's family aren't the only refugees

0:11:25 > 0:11:27trying to start a new life here.

0:11:29 > 0:11:31My name is Negervan, I'm 12 years old,

0:11:31 > 0:11:35and me and my brother Haider, we love to dance.

0:11:40 > 0:11:44Negervan and Haider only arrived here eight months ago.

0:11:50 > 0:11:52Negervan has just started

0:11:52 > 0:11:53going to my school.

0:11:53 > 0:11:57I've seen him around and we've talked a bit.

0:11:57 > 0:12:01When I came to UK, I didn't know how to speak English.

0:12:01 > 0:12:05In the school, I read 73 books in a whole month.

0:12:07 > 0:12:10I got a prize. I said, "What?"

0:12:10 > 0:12:11I was surprised.

0:12:11 > 0:12:14My parents was really proud of me.

0:12:24 > 0:12:25'I had friends there.

0:12:30 > 0:12:34'We bought a house and were settling in when the war started.'

0:12:37 > 0:12:42- TRANSLATION:- Our house, it might be destroyed, I don't know.

0:12:42 > 0:12:45I've drawn this plane bombing this house.

0:12:46 > 0:12:48The window is broken.

0:12:54 > 0:12:56When I wake up, I remember the war.

0:12:56 > 0:13:00When I brush my teeth, I remember, and even when I play.

0:13:04 > 0:13:05- TRANSLATION:- There were lots of soldiers,

0:13:05 > 0:13:09tanks, people were killed and homes were destroyed.

0:13:13 > 0:13:15- TRANSLATION:- I saw lots of helicopters

0:13:15 > 0:13:18and they were shooting all around us.

0:13:24 > 0:13:27- TRANSLATION:- I've drawn me and my dad at the airport,

0:13:27 > 0:13:30coming to the UK for a new life and to be happy.

0:13:32 > 0:13:34Starting that new life,

0:13:34 > 0:13:39a new school and making friends hasn't been that easy.

0:13:40 > 0:13:42- TRANSLATION:- There's a boy at school who told me,

0:13:42 > 0:13:45"Go back to Syria," and I say, "If I do,

0:13:45 > 0:13:47"I will be killed."

0:13:51 > 0:13:54If I had more friends, I'd be happier here.

0:14:01 > 0:14:03It will be interesting to find out

0:14:03 > 0:14:06how Negervan and his brother are getting on

0:14:06 > 0:14:08at school and things like that.

0:14:09 > 0:14:10Oh, yes!

0:14:12 > 0:14:14- Yeah.- Yay!- No.

0:14:18 > 0:14:20Oh, so close.

0:14:22 > 0:14:23Oh!

0:14:31 > 0:14:34So how's your English been going?

0:14:34 > 0:14:37- Good. I'm getting better and better. - Yeah.

0:14:37 > 0:14:40How did you find making friends?

0:14:40 > 0:14:43Hard because they don't let me to play.

0:14:43 > 0:14:45Hmm.

0:14:45 > 0:14:47How did your brother find making friends?

0:14:47 > 0:14:49Hard.

0:14:49 > 0:14:53When I made friends, I felt more settled in the UK.

0:14:53 > 0:14:54- Yeah.- Yeah.

0:14:55 > 0:14:57More friends like best friends?

0:14:57 > 0:14:59How do you spend your time?

0:14:59 > 0:15:06I spend my time with dancing and...art.

0:15:06 > 0:15:08I draw in my spare time as well.

0:15:08 > 0:15:13Sometimes, there will be this, like, art event.

0:15:13 > 0:15:18- OK.- And some of my friends are going to come there,

0:15:18 > 0:15:20- so would you like to come?- Yeah.

0:15:20 > 0:15:22- I'll go.- And your brother?

0:15:22 > 0:15:24Yeah.

0:15:28 > 0:15:29- Yeah.- Yes, definitely.

0:15:29 > 0:15:31I love it.

0:15:31 > 0:15:32Thank you, guys.

0:15:32 > 0:15:34- That's OK.- I'm excited now.

0:15:34 > 0:15:36Yeah.

0:15:36 > 0:15:38- Basketball?- Yeah.- Yeah.

0:15:51 > 0:15:56Ahmed has been spending most of his summer inside and he is also facing

0:15:56 > 0:16:00one of the biggest challenges for new arrivals from Syria.

0:16:04 > 0:16:07- TRANSLATION:- Bristol is new to me

0:16:07 > 0:16:09and I don't speak English,

0:16:09 > 0:16:11'which makes it hard for me to make friends.'

0:16:13 > 0:16:17Back in Syria, Ahmed only spoke Arabic.

0:16:17 > 0:16:18'Suit.'

0:16:18 > 0:16:21"Suit, tie."

0:16:21 > 0:16:23"Suit, tie."

0:16:23 > 0:16:25'Pyjamas.'

0:16:26 > 0:16:27Pyjamas.

0:16:29 > 0:16:31- TRANSLATION:- 'The hardest bit for me is the tenses.'

0:16:33 > 0:16:35And people talk very fast in English.

0:16:35 > 0:16:37'Surf the internet.'

0:16:37 > 0:16:39Surf the internet. Wait.

0:16:39 > 0:16:42- 'Surf the internet.' - Surf the internet.

0:16:44 > 0:16:46- TRANSLATION:- I'm starting a new school soon and I'm worried that

0:16:46 > 0:16:49I won't understand the lessons or the tests.

0:16:49 > 0:16:51'Classroom.'

0:16:51 > 0:16:53Classroom.

0:16:54 > 0:16:56Chopping board.

0:16:56 > 0:16:58Chopping... Chopping board.

0:17:01 > 0:17:05I will learn English every day and I will improve my English.

0:17:07 > 0:17:10It would be good to meet up with Ahmed soon,

0:17:10 > 0:17:12but first...

0:17:13 > 0:17:18We're heading into town to see Negervan and Haider.

0:17:18 > 0:17:22They might tell us, like, how to actually use the actual camera.

0:17:22 > 0:17:27'We're all going to an art day put on by these guys, Felix and Jack.

0:17:27 > 0:17:30'They do some summer workshops for kids in Bristol.'

0:17:30 > 0:17:33- Hello.- Hi.- Hello. - How are you?

0:17:33 > 0:17:36Hi. My name's Elijah.

0:17:36 > 0:17:37Nice to meet you.

0:17:37 > 0:17:39So are you guys looking forward to today?

0:17:39 > 0:17:41- Yeah.- We're ready.

0:17:42 > 0:17:45Today, we're learning how to use spray paint.

0:17:45 > 0:17:48There's other people I know here.

0:17:48 > 0:17:52My sister's come and also my Syrian friend Badr.

0:17:52 > 0:17:55Going to get a can of spray paint each and then you're going to have a

0:17:55 > 0:17:57little go on the wall here.

0:17:57 > 0:17:59I can see you're dying to get started.

0:17:59 > 0:18:03The closer you hand is, the thinner the line you're going to get.

0:18:04 > 0:18:07So if you hold it further back...

0:18:07 > 0:18:09you're going to get a thicker line. OK?

0:18:13 > 0:18:15We're really excited to have a go.

0:18:17 > 0:18:19Excellent.

0:18:19 > 0:18:21So it's starting to drip.

0:18:21 > 0:18:23That's it. Brilliant!

0:18:23 > 0:18:25Try doing a curvy line.

0:18:25 > 0:18:26- That's it.- Perfect.

0:18:26 > 0:18:28Better than mine.

0:18:30 > 0:18:34I just painted Adel's name because he's my best friend.

0:18:36 > 0:18:39That's the basics of spray painting already.

0:18:43 > 0:18:44PAPER SNAPS

0:18:45 > 0:18:47How do you make it?

0:18:47 > 0:18:49PAPER SNAPS

0:18:52 > 0:18:57I'm teaching everybody how to make a boom sound in the paper.

0:18:57 > 0:19:00So you do this, yeah, and then you do that.

0:19:00 > 0:19:01I ripped it!

0:19:01 > 0:19:07It was really fun and it makes a loud noise when you whack the paper.

0:19:07 > 0:19:09Oh, wow!

0:19:11 > 0:19:14Right, so, we're all going to go outside and have a paint

0:19:14 > 0:19:17cos the sun is out and do something

0:19:17 > 0:19:20about friends and making new friends.

0:19:20 > 0:19:23- Yes?- Can we do it in Arabic?

0:19:23 > 0:19:25Yeah, we can do it in Arabic.

0:19:25 > 0:19:26Yeah.

0:19:26 > 0:19:28- In Somali as well? - In Somali as well.

0:19:28 > 0:19:30We could say "amigo".

0:19:30 > 0:19:32That's Spanish.

0:19:32 > 0:19:34OK, so it's an international friendship.

0:19:34 > 0:19:36OK, that's brilliant. Let's do that.

0:19:41 > 0:19:45Roughly about here and then we'll blend it in.

0:19:45 > 0:19:48I did a word in Somali.

0:19:48 > 0:19:50It means "friends".

0:19:50 > 0:19:53Maybe get closer, so you can cover these bits.

0:19:58 > 0:20:00It's OK. We're trying to make it a bit better.

0:20:00 > 0:20:03So who's going to do the blue and who's going to do the red?

0:20:05 > 0:20:06Wow!

0:20:11 > 0:20:15Coloured it in like a design. I put blue and then mix into red.

0:20:20 > 0:20:23- Are we finished?- Yep.

0:20:23 > 0:20:26Yeah, I reckon you guys are nearly done here.

0:20:35 > 0:20:37I'm impressed by the final piece.

0:20:37 > 0:20:38I think it's really good.

0:20:38 > 0:20:40Can I get a high five off all of you, please?

0:20:40 > 0:20:42All along the line. Come on, faster.

0:20:42 > 0:20:44I've never actually met any boys from Syria and I was

0:20:44 > 0:20:47actually kind of laughing and joking with them.

0:20:47 > 0:20:50I would like to meet up with them again.

0:20:50 > 0:20:52I wouldn't really be able to tell

0:20:52 > 0:20:56that they hadn't been here for a while because they really...

0:20:56 > 0:20:57They really seem like it.

0:20:57 > 0:20:59I met Haider today for the first time

0:20:59 > 0:21:01and when he told me, "I'm from Syria..."

0:21:01 > 0:21:05I'm from the same country, so I felt a bit happy.

0:21:05 > 0:21:07I would love to see him again and play with him.

0:21:09 > 0:21:12- I really had fun with you today.- Me, too.

0:21:12 > 0:21:16- I hope I see you again.- Me, too.

0:21:16 > 0:21:18- Bye. See you soon.- Bye.

0:21:21 > 0:21:28I feel so very happy, good...because I have...

0:21:28 > 0:21:30Now I have so many friends.

0:21:31 > 0:21:34So did you guys make friends today?

0:21:34 > 0:21:36- Yeah, so many.- Yeah.

0:21:36 > 0:21:37It was quite fun.

0:21:37 > 0:21:39It was great to meet you guys.

0:21:39 > 0:21:42- Me, too.- It will be nice to see you at school again.

0:21:42 > 0:21:43Yeah.

0:21:43 > 0:21:46Maybe we should meet up again.

0:21:46 > 0:21:50- Yeah. Let's go.- OK.

0:21:56 > 0:22:02Now summer is nearly over, we have just one last thing left to do.

0:22:02 > 0:22:04It's very noisy.

0:22:04 > 0:22:07Yes, and also very flat.

0:22:07 > 0:22:09Be nice to get it pumped up today.

0:22:09 > 0:22:13'We're meeting Ahmed to see if he can get to know the city better.'

0:22:13 > 0:22:17I don't think he has any idea of what's happening,

0:22:17 > 0:22:21so he will be quite surprised when he finds out.

0:22:25 > 0:22:28- Hello, my name's Elijah. - My name's Ahmed.- How are you?

0:22:28 > 0:22:30- Fine, how are you?- Good.

0:22:30 > 0:22:33I know you haven't seen much of Bristol.

0:22:33 > 0:22:37Me and Elijah would really like to show you around but you don't have

0:22:37 > 0:22:41a bike, so we're going to this place here,

0:22:41 > 0:22:45where you can pick out a bike that suits you...

0:22:45 > 0:22:48and then we're going to go on a bike tour.

0:22:48 > 0:22:51- Thank you. - Are you excited to get a bike?

0:22:51 > 0:22:53- Very, very excited. - Cool.- Let's go.

0:23:00 > 0:23:02Hey, guys. How can I help?

0:23:02 > 0:23:06Ahmed's here and he needs a bike because he doesn't have one.

0:23:06 > 0:23:08Dude! Perfect.

0:23:08 > 0:23:10We give out bikes to people who need a bike,

0:23:10 > 0:23:13so I've probably got the perfect bike for you out the back.

0:23:17 > 0:23:20So, Ahmed, what do you think of this?

0:23:20 > 0:23:23The idea here is that you work on it yourself, so you learn some skills.

0:23:23 > 0:23:26- Is that cool with you? - Yeah.- Yeah? Excellent.

0:23:29 > 0:23:31Have you ever used a spanner before?

0:23:33 > 0:23:35ADEL TRANSLATES

0:23:37 > 0:23:39- No.- No? It's going to be fine.

0:23:39 > 0:23:40It's really easy stuff.

0:23:42 > 0:23:44You have used tools before, haven't you?

0:23:48 > 0:23:50All right? So we know your brakes are going to work.

0:23:50 > 0:23:54Do you know how to put a chain on a bike? So around this wheel...

0:23:54 > 0:23:59Yeah. Good work. So that chain now is linked.

0:23:59 > 0:24:01Great stuff.

0:24:01 > 0:24:04'Elijah's fixing that puncture on his bike, too.'

0:24:04 > 0:24:09My hands... Look, my hands are dirty and that is a sign of good work.

0:24:16 > 0:24:17So this is your fast gear.

0:24:17 > 0:24:19That's it.

0:24:19 > 0:24:21Feel the wind off that.

0:24:21 > 0:24:23And now we test the brakes.

0:24:24 > 0:24:26Nice.

0:24:27 > 0:24:29My bike is looking very, very, very nice.

0:24:29 > 0:24:33'I didn't have a bike for a long, long time.'

0:24:33 > 0:24:34Mechanics' handshake.

0:24:36 > 0:24:38Cool! Have a good day, boys.

0:24:38 > 0:24:42- Thank you.- See you soon, yeah? - I think, yeah, stage one,

0:24:42 > 0:24:45getting the bike ready and getting all our bikes fixed up was good,

0:24:45 > 0:24:48but I'm really excited to show Ahmed around.

0:24:48 > 0:24:52'Before today, Ahmed spent most of his time inside,

0:24:52 > 0:24:55'so we're going to show him everything.'

0:25:10 > 0:25:11Look at the boat.

0:25:13 > 0:25:15Imagine living on a boat like this.

0:25:15 > 0:25:17Follow me, yeah?

0:25:23 > 0:25:24Stop.

0:25:26 > 0:25:27This boat is awesome.

0:25:27 > 0:25:30- Yeah.- There's like a look-out as well.- Yeah.

0:25:31 > 0:25:33- Oh, it's a birthday.- Yeah.

0:25:33 > 0:25:36- ELIJAH AND AHMED: - # Happy birthday to you. #

0:25:39 > 0:25:41That's the SS Great Britain over there.

0:25:41 > 0:25:45The boat looks like the...Titanic.

0:25:45 > 0:25:47The Titanic, yeah. It kinda does, actually.

0:25:50 > 0:25:52Oh, look. The river is very, very nice.

0:25:52 > 0:25:54Yeah, it is nice. There's the houses.

0:25:54 > 0:25:56There's the colourful ones.

0:25:56 > 0:25:58The iconic Bristol houses.

0:25:58 > 0:25:59Yeah, they're so cool.

0:25:59 > 0:26:01I like this house.

0:26:01 > 0:26:04This area is very, very nice.

0:26:05 > 0:26:10'We've been riding for hours but we've saved the best for last.'

0:26:26 > 0:26:29- Like it?- It's very nice.

0:26:33 > 0:26:36It's very, very amazing and nice.

0:26:36 > 0:26:40This is the first time I've seen the bridge and it's amazing.

0:26:42 > 0:26:44'I think Ahmed's had a brilliant day.'

0:26:51 > 0:26:54Wow! Just... How far we've come.

0:26:55 > 0:27:00'I'm very, very happy because I've seen more of Bristol and I feel'

0:27:00 > 0:27:03very exciting because I'm starting

0:27:03 > 0:27:06a new school and I will improve my English.

0:27:07 > 0:27:13'It feels great getting involved, helping people settling in Bristol.

0:27:13 > 0:27:17'I feel like the things I've done made a big difference.'

0:27:20 > 0:27:23'This summer's made me realise that, you know,'

0:27:23 > 0:27:27being a refugee and all that isn't as simple as just hopping on a plane

0:27:27 > 0:27:29and coming over here,

0:27:29 > 0:27:31cos what happens after that

0:27:31 > 0:27:33is really crucial as well and even Adel,

0:27:33 > 0:27:35who's been here a long time.

0:27:38 > 0:27:41Syria will always feel like home.

0:27:42 > 0:27:45One day I will be able to go back to Syria

0:27:45 > 0:27:47because wars can't last forever.

0:27:49 > 0:27:50Wars always end.

0:27:52 > 0:27:58# Oh, I'm coming home. #
