About this event

Activities and confirmed speakers

Inspired by this year’s Refugee Week theme “Our Home”, our events cover topics ranging from wellbeing, fashion, gender, sexuality, media, popular culture, education, and much more.

For full details of the programme schedule go to eventbriteGo to the Refugee Week - Our Home eventbrite page. 

Please note that the discussion may touch upon sensitive topics related to the refugee experience, including displacement, trauma, and loss. We strive to create a safe and inclusive space for all participants, and we encourage attendees to engage with empathy and respect for diverse perspectives. Trigger warnings will be provided before any potentially distressing content is shared, and our panelists will approach the conversation with care and sensitivity. We welcome individuals from all backgrounds to join us in fostering understanding and compassion as we explore the concept
