REFUGEE WEEK 2022
Refugee Week 2022 is around the corner! 20th-26th June. This year the theme is 'healing' and a celebration of community, mutual care, and the human ability to start again. As part of the week's activities, RETAS is hosting an event, 'Celebrating Us Together', on Monday 20th June at our offices in Harehills from 10am to 1pm (event flyer is attached) to celebrate the contributions, creativity and resilience of refugees and people seeking sanctuary. Come along and celebrate in solidarity, the contributions of refugees in the local community, network, discover more about RETAS and enjoy a traditional coffee ceremony! Refreshments will be provided. Hope you can join us, we look forward to seeing you all! |
