A Day of Welcome is an annual day of solidarity and learning in schools that aims to build a culture of welcome and understanding for people seeking sanctuary. Celebrated by over 530 schools and tens of thousands of pupils in 2023, it’s designed to support teachers in kickstarting Refugee Week by providing free live events, resources and activities for teachers and pupils of all ages.

Our Aims

• Support schools to foster a culture of welcome, belonging and solidarity for those seeking safety.
• Help teachers to uncover and share stories of refugee migration, local and global, past and present.
• Assist schools to better educate and support refugee pupils and their families.

Register here for our fully-funded live events. This year these include teacher CPD and events for both primary and secondary schools sharing the work and experiences of people seeking sanctuary.
