The theme for Refugee Week Greece 2024 is “Our Home”. From the places we gather to share meals to our collective home, planet Earth, everyone is invited to celebrate what our Our Home means to them. Together, let’s practise our solidarity and make Our Home a more welcoming, safe and sustainable place for all. Read more here.

No. Refugee Week Greece is an umbrella festival, which means anyone can organise an event and call it Refugee Week Greece. The only requirements are that the event happens during the week, and that it celebrates refugee contributions in Greece and/ or promotes better understanding of refugee experiences. We encourage all Refugee Week Greece initiatives to reflect our core beliefs and values.
