Refugee Week Ireland
16-22 June 2025
The theme for Irish Refugee Week 2025 is ‘Community as a Superpower’
Community is the incredible every day. Simple acts of shared generosity and continually showing up for one another. Inviting someone new to the men’s shed or GAA practice, offering directions or a smile. Kindness multiplied to become a community welcome.
Communities can bring people together, bridge divides and offer support. Let’s show our local pride and practice solidarity to make Ireland a welcoming and safe place for everyone.
This Refugee Week everyone is invited to spend time with friends and build new connections in and beyond our neighbourhoods.
From communal meals and runs, to football matches and Tidy Town clean ups, let’s share the feelings of welcome and belonging to listen and learn together.
Our third Irish Refugee week is taking place from the 16-22 June. Refugee week is a festival where we celebrate compassion and connection, and everyone is welcome.
Through a collective programme of community events & culture, sports and educational activities alongside awareness raising, Refugee Week brings people from different backgrounds together to foster a deeper understanding of why people are displaced and the challenges they face when seeking safety, and celebrate communities who welcome them.
