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, this annual festival aligns with World Refugee Day, celebrated globally on June 20th. In 2025, join us from June 16th to 22nd for a community-powered week!
The theme for Refugee Week 2025 is “CommunityAsASuperpower”.
Community is the incredible everyday. Ordinary and extraordinary. Simple acts of shared generosity. Kindness multiplied to become an unstoppable force!
Communities can bring people together. Bridging divides and offering support. Spaces of resilience and places for healing.
This Refugee Week everyone is invited to spend time with friends and build new connections in and beyond our neighbourhoods. From communal meals and open air film screenings, to football matches and music making, let’s share the feelings of welcome and belonging. Listening, learning, laughing together.
It’s amazing what we can do when we move together towards a shared goal. So let’s redefine and rediscover our collective power to shape hopeful futures and begin by practicing, celebrating and rehearsing it every day.
Join us for Refugee Week, 16–22 June 2025, and together let’s unleash the superpower of community.
