Refugee Week is the world’s largest arts and culture festival celebrating the contributions, resilience, and creativity of refugees. Each year, thousands of independently organised events take place globally. Explore what’s happening near you by browsing through the calendar below.

Refugee Week is an open platform & everyone is invited to get involved. You can support local events, take part in Simple Acts, or even host your own activity!

Ready to Share Your Refugee Week Event?
Submit your event to our public calendar by registering for an account and filling out the submission form. Please note, all events must be approved by Refugee Week administrators, so there will be a short delay before your event becomes visible on the website.
