SCOTLAND is set to see more than 100 events spread across the country celebrating the many ways refugees contribute to society.
In 2022, Refugee Festival Scotland will focus on telling the stories of the people and communities who have settled in Scotland.
The programme includes events in Glasgow, Edinburgh, Perth, Falkirk, and Skye.
Chief executive of the Scottish Refugee Council, Sabir Zazai, said: “This has been a year of terrible stories. War in Ukraine, unrest in Afghanistan, families stranded and separated by bureaucracy, Rwandan detention centres and people left with no option but to risk their lives on dangerous journeys in a desperate bid to reach a place of safety.
“But there are other, happier stories, and these are the ones that Refugee Festival Scotland aims to tell. Stories of friendship, resilience, hope and new beginnings.
“So please join us for this exciting programme of events, make new friends, have fun, and show the world that Scotland welcomes refugees.”
