Refugee Festival Scotland 2024: THEME ANNOUNCED!
Refugee Festival Scotland will be back June 14th-23rd 2024! The theme for next year's festival is RISE.
Every day, we see people who have been forced to flee their homes in search of safety rise above challenges and uncertainty to rebuild their lives in Scotland. And we see communities come together to welcome new neighbours, finding strength and unity in diversity.
This demonstration of courage, strength and resilience is our inspiration.
You are invited to join us next June for our unique arts and culture festival as we rise together in celebration, solidarity and friendship.
Find out more about our new theme here.
Information about event guidelines, funding opportunities, and how you can take part in Refugee Festival Scotland 2024 will be shared in January.
