Refugee Week, held every year around World Refugee Day on the 20 June, is a UK-wide festival celebrating the contributions, creativity and resilience of refugees. Through a programme of arts, cultural and educational events, Refugee Week brings about positive encounters between communities, helping them to connect and learn from each other, and promoting a culture of welcome.

ZNVA hosts events encouraging young people to play sports together and break down city geographical and ethnic barriers. The social interaction between migrants and receiving communities through sport, music and food allows people to share the same thing and break down barriers.
