This is ‘Refugee Week’ in the UK, a celebration of the contributions that refugees make to life in Britain and a support for community cohesion. This year’s programme of events and activities uses the theme ’simple acts’ to encourage people to do small everyday actions which help change public perceptions about refugees.
Local groups and schools can organise activities to celebrate Refugee Week and stimulate discussion about issues such as discrimination and rights. The Teachers TV website has several new documentary videos about the experience of children in English schools, such as ‘Refugees in the UK’, which could act as prompts for discussion.
