Be Seen in Green – Show Your Support for Refugees during Refugee Week 2026!
The Be Seen in Green event is your school’s chance to stand in solidarity with refugees and people seeking asylum. Taking place on Friday 19th June, this special event falls within Refugee Week (15th–21st June).
This year’s theme is “Courage!” – Through art, stories, and community, we celebrate the courage that lives within us all – and how connection helps it grow.
To assist your school in taking part, we’ve created a free online activity pack tailored for Years 4–6, though the materials can be easily adapted for younger or older pupils. The pack includes daily classroom activities exploring:
- What it means to be displaced
- The power of community, empathy and shared responsibility
- Discussion and creative approaches to learning about seeking asylum
On Friday 19th June, join the movement:
🟢 Wear green – the logo colours of Refugee Support Group and a symbol of hope
🟢 Decorate your classroom
🟢 Fund-raise to support local refugees through Refugee Support Group

We’d also be happy to visit your school before Refugee Week to deliver a short assembly or classroom session—just let us know!
