Film Screenings at MK Gallery:
- 17 June, 7:00–9:30pm – Short films sharing refugee and migrant stories, including local films created by Living Archive and MKIAC (MK Islamic Arts and Culture), followed by a discussion.
- 22 June, 2:00–4:00pm – Screening of Fremont, a heartfelt story of a young Afghan woman starting a new life in California, with a reading by author Sonia Saada from her book If the Sea Was in Ink.
Other highlights include the Art in the Park Festival by MKIAC (afternoon/evening) and the Yoga Festival by Yoga for Health Alliance (morning) on 21 June, alongside activities from local organisations supporting refugee communities – such as the Ukrainian Appeal and UK Welcomes Refugees - also marking the campaign. More events will be confirmed in the coming weeks.
