Oxford Sanctuary Fair 11 May 2023
Oxford’s first town-and-gown Sanctuary Fair: a free, full-day event at Oxford Town Hall, will take place on Thursday 11 May. Organised by Asylum Welcome, and the Refugee Studies Centre, it is open to everyone and provides an opportunity to learn more about refugee issues and how we can all make a difference. The fair will include panel discussions and interactive workshops featuring students, academics, activists, politicians, community leaders, and influencers, many of whom have experienced displacement first-hand.
