Refugee Week

Refugee Week is the world’s largest arts & culture festival celebrating the contributions, creativity and resilience of refugees and people seeking sanctuary (check out the video attached for more info). 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.

The theme for 2025 is “Community as a Superpower”. Community is the incredible everyday. Ordinary and extraordinary. Simple acts of shared generosity. Kindness multiplied to become an unstoppable force! This Refugee Week everyone is invited to spend time with friends and build new connections in and beyond our neighbourhoods.

In the library, we are getting involved with some #SimpleActs – get creative with Refugee Week colouring sheets, learn something new from one of the books on display or read and listen to the books available from the library about refugee stories and experiences, check out the titles here >>> Refugee Week Reading List.
