Various events will be taking place in York for Refugee Week, which is happening from June 19th until the 25th. This is a worldwide annual festival celebrating the contributions, creativity, and resilience of refugees and people seeking sanctuary. 

There will be a variety of events running, including a popular exhibition documenting the experiences of Ugandan Asian families who fled to York 50 years ago to escape the dictatorship of Idi Amin. This will be shown Monday to Friday at the Council's West Offices.
