National Refugee Week runs from Sunday 19 June to Saturday 25 June. This year's theme is Healing. Healing promotes harmony and togetherness. Healing unites individuals, communities and organisations from diverse backgrounds. We move forward in unity. The theme is a powerful reminder that, regardless of our differences, we all share a humble need for acceptance and to heal. Mainstream and refugee communities alike can draw upon shared hardship to heal wounds, to learn from each other and to move forward. Healing can occur through storytelling, through community and also through realisation of our intrinsic interconnectedness as individuals.
