The theme for the second Hong Kong Refugee Week, 19-25 June, is compassion and throughout June different NGOs, independent projects and refugee artists celebrate what compassion looks like in action through a program of arts, cultural and educational events.
Refugee Week, an annual open-source festival each June, celebrates the contributions, creativity, and resilience of refugees and people seeking asylum. Founded in 1998 it’s held every year around World Refugee Day (20 June).
Refugee Week’s vision is for refugees and asylum seekers to be able to live safely within inclusive and resilient communities, where they can continue to make a valuable contribution.
Refugee Week Hong Kong 2023 participating organisations include Grassroots Future, The Office of the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees Hong Kong (UNHCR HK), Justice Centre Hong Kong, Hope, RUN Hong Kong, Youth Global Network.
