Refugee Week takes place every year across the world in the week around World Refugee Day on the 20 June. In the UK, Refugee Week is a nationwide programme of arts, cultural and educational events that celebrate the contribution of refugees to the UK, and encourages a better understanding between communities.
To celebrate, Sheffield will have a variety of events and performances across the city – a majority of which are free or pay what you decide – from artists who have refugee background and links.
There is the Migration Matters Festival which is being held at Theatre Delicatessen on the Moor, which will feature established companies, emerging artists, community arts groups and charitable organisations. There are also live performances and exhibitions from artsONtheRUN, featuring six local artists from migrant backgrounds – click here to find out more.
More events can be found on the Refugee Week website.
