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.
Refugee Week 2017 starts in under a fortnight, and there are
plenty of London activities to choose from.
Plus here are two local events to share:
1. Queens of Syria - free film Sunday 18th June
We're showing this thrilling and absorbing film about 50 Syrian refugee
women joining together to prepare to perform an ancient Greek play
about women and their families in war. It's definitely NOT simply a 'film of
the play' - it's all about how the women explore telling their shared
stories with passion and creativity. It's a moving and positive film.
