Today marks the beginning of Refugee Week 2026! 🧡

This year’s festival invites us to explore the theme of Courage through community, stories and art. For refugees around the world, courage is often a daily necessity. Refugee Week 2026 calls us all to come together and share the courage to welcome, to stand for what we believe in, and to celebrate culture and community. 🤝

It’s through Simple Acts that we can unite in our community of welcome here in Edinburgh. These are the small, everyday actions we can all do to stand with refugees and make new connections in our communities.
