Welcome to Refugee Week Scotland

Refugee Week 2010 takes place 14 - 20 June, and the theme for this year is JOURNEYS. It could be a journey that changed your life, an everyday journey or the journey of your posessions eg food, clothes.

Events are taking shape for this year's programme with lots of great things happening but there is still time to get involved yourself. Be prepared by taking a look at some of the great resources available to help you organise your events and celebrate the contribution of refugees!
