Refugee Week 2025
Refugee Week is a celebration of the contributions, creativity and resilience of refugees and people seeking sanctuary. Established in 1998 in the UK, Refugee Week takes place every year around World Refugee Day (20th June) and has since grown into a global movement.
The theme for #RefugeeWeek 2025 is “Community as a Superpower”; celebrating the incredible everyday. Libraries are essential to communities - providing a safe space, an opportunity to take part in activities and events, as well as learn and find support.
If you are new to the area, there are lots of ways to meet other people, including Talk Together sessions, Creative Crafts, Knit and Natter, Stitch and Sew, and Reading Groups. Improve English skills with UniversalClass for Libraries, #LOTE4Kids, our eLibrary and Dual Language books. Speak to our team for more information.
