Event checklist
Things to consider before, during and after your festival event. This might not all apply to your event, but these steps should guide you through the day and help you plan.
Social Media tips and resources
We’ve put together some useful tips and resources to help you share news about your Refugee Festival Scotland event on social media.
Responding to online abuse
Recommendations and advice to help groups and organisations respond to hostility, trolling and online abuse, particularly on social media.
Photographing the festival
Photos are a great way to capture memories and spread the positive message of the festival. But before you take or share any pictures, please consider these important points
Contacting local media
Letting local media know about your festival event can be a great way to raise awareness. And contacting the media might be easier than you think. Here are some tips to get you started.
Helping you share your story
Speaking to the media can be scary. Our Communications Team is here to support you and make sharing your story as enjoyable an experience as possible.
Resources for schools
We teamed up with e-sgoil, Amal Azzudin and the Anti-racist Club at Drumchapel High (facilitated by their teacher Ms Angel Hinkley) to develop an online assembly and lesson materials to support primary and secondary schools to participate in the Festival. These resources can be used on any Festival year.
Resources and peer support for artists
We collaborated with the Scottish Artist Union to gather key resources, peer support and employment advice to support New Scot artists and creatives who are looking to work professionally in Scotland.
Where We Meet
Where We Meet is a good practice resource that provides cultural organisations with tools and insights to work ethically and effectivally with artists who have lived experience of displacement. Where We Meet was commissioned by Scottish Refugee Council as part of the Cross Borders programme.
