World Refugee Day 2023

World Refugee Day is when the world commemorates the bravery and resilience of refugees and raises awareness of their plight. For us at the Centre for Refugees, we celebrate this every day as we are privileged to be surrounded by these amazing men and women. Their stories are nothing short of inspiring and while their stories are not easy to tell, they do so, in hope that more people will understand their situation. Being a refugee is not a choice. We would like to highlight these amazing people through all their talents and skills, as they embrace their dignity, so you too will come away inspired.

Come join us for a fun-filled day featuring -

EXPERIENCES - Human Library, henna, tinikling, African Djembe tryouts, mini leather wallet making workshop, and interactive information points to learn more about how we bring dignity back to our refugee clients.

PRODUCT BOOTHS - Made by the refugee ladies from our LEAD program (Ladies Empowerment Art & Design), and of our various partners.

PERFORMANCES - African Djembe drumming, dance, musical performances, cultural diversity fashion show… and much more!
