Refugee Week 2020

Refugee Week is a nationwide programme of arts, cultural and educational events that celebrate the contribution of refugees to the UK, encouraging a better understanding between communities. During Refugee Week Kazzum Arts run awareness raising, creative writing workshops and assemblies in schools across the country.

The theme of Refugee Week 2020 is ‘Imagine’ and takes place primarily between 15th – 21st June.

Due to the Covid-19 pandemic we are taking our important work online, providing resources and creative activities for remote at-home learning.

Our free resource packs are designed to encourage children and young people to think about the experiences of young asylum seekers and refugees, highlighting the positives, building empathy and challenging negative stereotypes.

PRIMARY RESOURCES

This resource pack for primary school age children includes an animated poem called ‘Help Them Feel At Home’ and downloadable creative activities.
