Upcoming Events
A free one-day conference for anyone involved with Refugee Week
Friday 20 January 2012, Victoria and Albert Museum, Cromwell Road, London SW7 2RL
Time: 10:00am - 4.30pm
The aim of the day is to provide a forum where those involved in events this year can develop and share ideas, get inspired and share their experiences with others.
The programme will feature a number of speakers sharing good practice and ideas – but the day will be more about you and your experiences! The event will be participatory and features different workshops covering a range of issues.
This year's workshops are as follows
- Developing new audiences for Refugee Week
One thing that has come out of a number of evaluations from the previous conference and RW 2011 is that there is now a trend of ‘usual suspects’ attending events and participating during Refugee Week. The challenge is for us to find ways to engage new audiences. Would you like to hear and share ideas on how this can be done? Then come along to this session. - Campaigning
What makes a campaign a success? If you would like to know more about how you can improve your campaigning during Refugee Week, then come along! - Media
Find out how you can get local newspapers, radio, and TV to promote your event to their readers/viewers/listeners. Through fun activities and group discussions, you’ll learn how to guarantee the press take notice of your event and what Refugee Week is all about. Whether you are a press novice or a media guru, come along! - Platforma: Engaging with Refugee related Arts
This session is about supporting and engaging with refugee related arts and artists.
- Refugee Week Theme Exploration
Workshop exploring the 2012 Refugee Week theme. In this session we will look at the theme, what it means and the ideas on how it can be interpreted for your activities for refugee Week 2012.
