Do you have a burning question about the role we’ve played in supporting refugees? Are you interested in learning how to make Greater Manchester a more welcoming place?

Expert speakers from refugee support organisations, the refugee community and academia will be joined by public figures to discuss how our great city has provided a place of safety for people fleeing persecution over the decades.

This event forms part of Greater Manchester’s Refugee Week celebrations. Refugee Week is a nationwide programme of arts, cultural and educational events that celebrate the contribution of refugees to the UK, and encourages a better understanding between communities.

The Portico Library, in partnership with Regional Asylum Activism and United for Change, invites you to an evening of talks and discussions exploring ‘How Has Greater Manchester Welcomed Refugees?’
