Beyond Bath: The many shapes of courage

Join Bath Welcomes Refugees for a special edition of Beyond Bath exploring this year’s Refugee Week 2026 theme: Courage.

Through personal stories and reflections, local people with lived experience of forced migration will share what courage can look like in the context of displacement, rebuilding a life, finding belonging, and everyday life.

The conversation will also create space to reflect together on the contributions, creativity, and strength that refugees bring to our communities, and to celebrate the many ways people build connection, solidarity, and belonging in Bath and beyond.
