Refugee week 2026

From 15 June 2026 refugees around the world celebrates their worn week, the theme is, courage is often a daily necessity. It is the courage to face unknown journeys, learn new languages, navigate unfamiliar systems, or simply to wake up each morning and step into an uncertain world.

Courage isn’t always loud or bold. It can be found in simple acts of kindness: opening your door to a neighbour, helping someone who is new to your community, or even a giving someone a simple smile and hello.

This Refugee Week, join our campaign to learn how your acts of kindness can go a long way, helping refugees feel welcome and safe in your community.

The 1951 Convention provides the internationally recognized definition of a refugee and outlines the legal protection, rights and assistance a refugee is entitled to receive.
