Refugee Week is the world’s largest arts & culture festival celebrating the contributions, creativity and resilience of refugees and people seeking sanctuary. Established in 1998 in the UK, Refugee Week takes place every year around World Refugee Day (20th June) and has since grown into a global movement.
It is a community-powered festival with arts & culture at the heart. Everyone is invited to take part and help make the festival happen. From individuals to schools, libraries, arts venues, faith groups, local councils, football clubs, and businesses, everyone is invited.
Refugee Week events and activities are all shapes and sizes and take place in all sorts of spaces. Nothing is too big or too small. Across the UK, every year there’s everything from city-wide festivals to group walks, exhibitions, film screenings, museum tours, football tournaments, public talks, activities in schools and so much more!
This year, in Blackburn with Darwen, there are cultural celebrations, arts exhibitions, drama performances, food festivals, workshops, group walks, community drops ins, picnics and many more! For more information, please click here.
