Host a listen party this Refugee Week

In 2020, Refugee Week is changing. In light of COVID-19 we are moving this important celebration of refugees online.

One of the best ways to connect with others while practicing physical distancing is to host a listen party. You can listen to a podcast below with some friends and then have a follow up conversation about it using Skype, Zoom etc.

We have included some great, freely available podcasts for you to share and listen towith your friends. Be sure to snap a photo and share it across social media using the hashtag #RefugeeWeek2020
