REFUGEE WEEK 15TH-21ST JUNE 2026

Refugee Week this year is 15th - 21st June

Established in the UK in 1998, Refugee Week takes place every year around World Refugee Day (20th June) & has since grown into a global movement with over 2 million participants, across over 20 countries. Through a programme of events, activities & media campaigns, the week brings together people from different backgrounds to connect & foster a deeper understanding of why people are displaced & the challenges they face.
