04.01.2022 WORLD REFUGEE DAY World refugee day celebrates the COURAGE, RESILIENCE and DETERMINATION of people who have been forced to abandon their homes in "fear of persecution because of his/her race, religion, nationality, membership in a particular social group, or political opinion" (United Nations, 1951). With the current pressure of the coronavirus pandemic, the world is highlighting how Every Action Counts in two different perspectives:... 1) Many refugees are working on the front-line of the pandemic - a pivotal role in reducing the spread of coronavirus. 2) Every action taken to celebrate refugees in our community creates a more inclusive environment that acknowledges and commends the bravery and hard-work of refugees.
