As part of Refugee Week, The Line, East London’s public art trail, is hosting a guided walk for refugees, migrants, displaced people, asylum seekers and anyone who wants to show their support and care. The walk is also part of The Great Get Together, a joint initiative of Refugee Week and The Jo Cox Foundation. It is the UK’s annual celebration of everything that unites our communities, inspired by Jo Cox’s belief that “we have more in common than that which divides us.” In the spirit of this, this event invites you to walk together with family, friends, neighbours, strangers and other groups to celebrate Refugee Week on Saturday 22 June. The walk will be at a gentle pace along the canal, offering a journey of calmness and connection through the city and introducing you to the public art and nature spots hidden within East London.

The walk will start at 2pm at The House Mill, where you will hear more about The Line and do some simple warm -up activities. Guided by facilitators, the walk will pause along the route to introduce you to each artwork and end at 3.30pm at Cody Dock, an urban ecology site near Canning Town. Here, there will be refreshments and a drop-in creative session until 5pm. There will be a badgemaking station for you to draw designs or write a quote and have it pressed into your own badge. Family friendly, all welcome.
