To celebrate International Refugee Week, the Centre for Open Learning at the University of Edinburgh hosted an event in the quad of the Holyrood Campus.

The gathering included international artists, photographers, performers, dancers, actors, and musicians who shared their culture and art form with us to celebrate Scotland being our common home. 

The event was a big success. It was lovely to see the courtyard full of music, dance, food and family fun with so much diversity and culture on display.

A huge thank you to all who attended and helped to bring this event to life!
