Refugee Week 2026
Preparations for Refugee Week 2026 are underway in Coventry schools!
Inspired by the lives and experiences of people seeking sanctuary, Refugee Week 2026 invites us to explore the theme of Courage.
The word courage comes from the Latin cor, meaning “heart.”
For refugees around the world, courage is often a daily necessity. It is the courage to face unknown journeys, learn new languages, navigate unfamiliar systems, or simply to wake up each morning and step into an uncertain world.
At a time when some seek to divide and blame, Refugee Week 2026 calls us to come together and share the courage to welcome, to stand for what we believe in, and to celebrate culture and community – to be joyful, imagine new possibilities, dream, heal, and connect.
For more information about plans, resources, local workshops and our call out to schools for the 'Coventry Courageous Collection', or to gain inspiration, please visit our Coventry Refugee Week padlet, which will be updated leading up to the celebrations from Monday 15 to Sunday 21 June 2026.
