Refugee Week is a global arts and culture festival that celebrates the creativity of refugees. It is held every year during the same week as World Refugee Day (June 20), although there will be events throughout June.
What happens?
There will be several events taking place across Hong Kong that feature contributions from refugees. This includes film festivals, fashion shows, workshops, and plenty of arts and crafts.
