ORGANISING AN EVENT: What can I do for Refugee Week?
There is a vast array of activities, large or small, that you or your community can do to celebrate Refugee Week. We encourage communities to organise events that illustrate the theme ‘Freedom from Fear’ but how you interpret this is up to you.
Types of events include:
- Arts and Cultural Events
- Campaigning or Awareness Raising Events
- Community Events
- Conferences, Seminars and Lectures
- Educational Events
To help you with planning your event, we have put together some documents below. You can either read these online or download and print them directly. We also recommend you look at our ‘Information Pack’ section, which contains background information which you will also need for your event.
And don’t forget to tell us about what you're planning! We have put together a diary of events which is organised by state, and if you’re planning an event, you should definitely make sure it’s listed. Visit the ‘Events in Your State’ section for details.
