Beyond Borders: Stories of Courage and Connection

Join Wolfson College for this year’s Refugee Week, the largest global festival celebrating refugees and their contributions to host communities. The evening will feature two acclaimed short films: Migrants (2020), directed by Hugo Caby, Antoine Dupriez, Aubin Kubiak, Lucas Lermytte and Zoé Devise, and Tskatulbo (2023), directed by Toby Andris.
Following the screenings, an invited panel will respond to the films and open a conversation on displacement, belonging and the role of dialogue in shaping understanding. An audience Q&A will create a space for participation and exchange.
The evening will conclude with refreshments and informal conversation, offering an opportunity to continue discussions and connect with fellow attendees through a shared cultural experience.

17.00-17.35 - short film screenings
17.45-18.30 - panel discussion
18.30-18.45 - Q&A session

This event is open to all and free to attend - please book your place.

This event will take place in the Lee Hall which has step-free access and an accessible toilet.
