Refugee Week is the world’s largest arts and culture festival, celebrating the contributions, resilience, and creativity of refugees and people seeking sanctuary. Refugee Week Taiwan joined this worldwide celebration in 2021 with the aim of raising awareness of global displacement in Taiwan.
The theme for this year’s activities is “Compassion: The Moments in Our Lives”. Compassion is not sympathy but the ability to embrace differences and recognise challenges facing other members of society.
Connection is important for nurturing compassion. The more we see, hear, and interact with asylum seekers, the less we ignore, stereotype, and distance ourselves from them. Therefore, in 2023, we selected three films featuring the experiences of people seeking asylum in a foreign land — the fearful, hopeful, and potentially life-changing moments.

■ Refugee Path (http://www.refugeepath.com)
Refugee Path was established in 2021 by development practitioners Hsiao-Chi Chu and Chunyuan Hu. Through team members’ combined research experience in forced migration and fieldwork in different countries, Refugee Path was created with the hope of building a collaborative-based, knowledge-sharing platform in Taiwan. We have held online interactive co-writing workshops since 2021. In 2022, we decided to organize a refugee week in Taiwan. Refugee Week Taiwan will be held each year as an open forum to discuss the current challenges and opportunities for refugees in Taiwan and beyond.
