Refugee Week is a UK wide programme of events which celebrate the contribution of refugees to the UK. Refugee Week 2011 will take place on 20th - 26th June.
During Refugee Week hundreds of events exploring refugee experiences take place across the UK. These range from small community and school activities to art exhibitions, political debates, film screenings, conferences, big music festivals, sports events etc.

In recent Refugee Weeks these have included work in schools; arts activities by, for and about refugees; information and music events in the city centre and action by businesses, voluntary, statutory and faith groups.
