About Refugee Week:
Refugee Week is an international festival that celebrates the contributions, creativity and resilience of refugees and people seeking sanctuary. Through a programme of arts, cultural, sports and educational events alongside media and creative campaigns, Refugee Week enables people from different backgrounds to connect beyond labels, as well as encouraging understanding of why people are displaced, and the challenges they face when seeking safety.
Refugee Week is a platform for people who have sought safety in the UK to share their experiences, perspectives and creative work on their own terms. Everyone is invited to take part, wherever they are. Participating organisations range from mainstream national institutions to grassroots groups, including schools, faith groups, councils, libraries, arts organisations, universities, refugee organisations and local activist networks and more.
Refugee Week’s vision is for refugees and asylum seekers to be able to live safely within inclusive and resilient communities, where they can continue to make a valuable contribution.
Refugee Week UK is a partnership project coordinated and managed by Counterpoints Arts. Our national partners are listed here. Refugee Week Conference is coordinated by Counterpoints Arts.
