Refugee Week - 2026

This Primary assembly PowerPoint introduces pupils to Refugee Week 2026 and its theme of Courage through clear, sensitive and age‑appropriate content. The resource explains what Refugee Week is, what the word refugee means in simple language, and why courage is such an important part of many refugees’ stories. Pupils explore everyday acts of bravery, learn how people show courage when they move to a new place, and reflect on how we can show kindness and welcome in our own school community. The assembly highlights empathy, belonging and shared humanity, encouraging pupils to think about how courage can look different for everyone. A calm reflection at the end invites children to consider one small courageous action they can take this week. Ideal for whole‑school assemblies, PSHE, global citizenship and community‑themed events.
