The University supports Refugee Week which takes place annually across the world in the week around World Refugee Day on 20 June. Join speakers from refugee backgrounds who have become resilient leaders in their fields.
This event is more than just a discussion; it's a celebration of human resilience beyond displacement. We aim to:
- Celebrate Resilience: Highlight the strength, adaptability, and unwavering spirit of those who have rebuilt their lives and thrived after displacement.
- Amplify Underrepresented Voices: Provide a platform for role models whose stories are often untold, offering diverse perspectives and experiences.
- Inspire Future Generations: Offer hope, guidance, and inspiration to young people from refugee, asylum-seeking, and migrant backgrounds, demonstrating the vast possibilities that lie ahead.
Come and be part of a meaningful conversation that challenges narrative and empowers individuals to reach their full potential, regardless of their starting point.
This event is sponsored by the EDI programme at the University of Westminster with the support of Research Centre for Peripheral Populations and HOMELandS.
