REFUGEE WEEK FOCUS 2023 in school9 June 2023 (by admin) |
It will soon be REFUGEE WEEK...a wonderful opportunity to think about HELPING OTHERS and MAKING a DIFFERENCE.
In ST. BERNARD'S, OUR REFUGEE focus is upon us...
Refugee Week is the world’s largest arts & culture festival celebrating the contributions, creativity and resilience of refugees and people seeking sanctuary. Actually founded in 1998 in the UK and held every year around World Refugee Day in the month of June, Refugee Week 2023 will be celebrated soon.
Through a programme of arts, cultural, sports and educational events alongside media and creative campaigns, Refugee Week enables people from different backgrounds to connect beyond labels, as well as encouraging understanding of why people are displaced, and the challenges they face when seeking safety. Refugee Week is a platform for people who have sought safety in the UK to share their experiences, perspectives and creative work on their own terms.
Refugee Week’s vision is for refugees and asylum seekers to be able to live safely within inclusive and resilient communities, where they can continue to make a valuable contribution. ST. BERNARD'S IS HERE TO HELP and MAKE a DIFFERENCE!
