[eal-bilingual] Refugee Week 2008

Refugee Week is a major platform to promote the understanding of the  
experiences of asylum seekers and refugees. It does this by hosting a  
UK-wide programme of artistic, cultural and educational events, and  
by celebrating the contribution of refugees to the UK. In 2007  
between 450 and 500 events took place around the UK. This year, from  
16th to 25th June, we are on a mission to make Refugee Week 2008 the  
biggest and boldest one yet.

During Refugee Week, hundreds of events exploring refugee experiences  
take place across the UK, ranging from big music festivals and art  
exhibitions to political debates and community events. Events are  
organised by anyone and everyone - charities, local governments,  
refugee community organisations, schools, faith groups, arts  
organisations and even you!

It’s our birthday…spread the word!

2008 is the 10th anniversary of Refugee Week and to celebrate the UK  
team has produced a huge range of exciting Promotional Materials  
including banners, balloons, full colour calendars and badges.

We have five fantastic T-shirt designs in different colours, sporting  
quotes by Benjamin Zephaniah, Margaret Mead, Ian McEwan and Maya  
Angelou. The T-shirts are made by American Apparel, a progressive LA  
based company that guarantees sweatshop free products and who are  
currently campaigning for immigration reform and speaking out for the  
human rights of immigrants!
