Celebrate with us
An exciting new programme for 2012
Hooray it's here! Our Refugee Week Programme (3.7Mb, PDF) is brimming with fantastic new events across Scotland. Truly something for everyone so join us in celebrating refugees in Scotland.
Show us your spirit
Each year Refugee Week grows and increases in profile, making its mark on the UK's cultural calendar. This year's theme Spirit captures:
- Spirit of survival and the individual – the determination needed to flee persecution and rebuild your life
- Community spirit – the connections between refugees and local communities
- Scotland’s spirit – the cultural diversity of Scotland today
What's it all about
Refugee Week is all about having fun, broadening horizons and breaking down barriers. Every June the week long UK-wide festival of arts, cultural and educational events celebrates contributions refugees have made to the UK, and promotes understanding about why people seek sanctuary.
We want to hear from you!
Join us on facebook, twitter and YouTube to keep up- to-date with events and share your experiences, images and videos with us throughout Refugee Week.
