Refugee Week

Refugee Week is an annual celebration in Australia taking place from Sunday 15 - Saturday 21 June.

This year’s Refugee Week theme, Finding Freedom: Diversity in Community, invites us to reflect on the meaning of freedom—freedom from war, persecution, and inequality, and the right to live in safety with dignity and hope.

To commemorate this week of significance, Council is offering free film screenings at Braybrook Community Hub and Footscray Library.

Come along to view The Story Won’t Die (Braybrook) and Las Abogadas (Footscray), two inspiring documentaries that shine a light on the people who work to support the rights and freedoms of refugee communities.
