Refugee Week 2010 is from 13th to the 21st June. Leeds Refugee Forum is coordinating the events across the city with the support of its volunteers. To see the different events happening through the week, check the harmonious communities calendar.  A flyer for events can also be downloaded from the right hand side of this page.

Refugee Week is a great way of celebrating the contribution refugees have made to arts, culture, economy and wider society and marks Leeds’ commitment to stronger, more harmonious city.  The rich and varied programme of events highlights not only the part played by refugees, but also reminds us of our proud history of welcoming them and the immense value of tolerance. Behind all the negative headlines live real people building new lives, and new contributions to Leeds and beyond.

“Together for Leeds” is the big culture day open day, everyone is welcome to attend. It is aimed at bringing together a wide variety of people to enjoy music, dance food and culture celebrating the diversity in Leeds.
