About Refugee Week
Refugee Week is an annual seven-day festival which takes place in June each year. The festival takes place in the week around World Refugee Day (on the 20th June). It is a time to celebrate the contributions of the UK’s refugee and asylum seeking communities, and to raise awareness as to why people seek sanctuary. The theme of this year’s celebrations “Our Home”. From the places we gather to share meals to our collective home, planet earth: everyone is invited to celebrate what our Our Home means to them.
