According to the United Nations, currently there are more than 11 million people have fled their homes in Ukraine since the conflict began. As of April 27, more than 5.3 million refugees have left Ukraine. Most of them fled to the neighboring countries e.g. Poland, Romania, Russia, Hungary and Moldova to seek for refuge.
This year, we would like to dedicate our CArtREfugee Postcard Design Competition to Ukrainian refugees. All artists and designers, young and old, are invited to submit a creative postcard under the theme of ‘We Care’. Winners’ designs will be printed, exhibited, distributed and sent to Ukrainian refugees in overseas.

Standing With Refugees

Category : EYGD , World Refugee Day

Yearly, in the month of June, the world celebrates World Refugee Day. Following the political and economic instability worldwide, now more than ever, refugee issues have become a global crisis and a concern of the whole humanity.

“I am deeply concerned to see more and more situations where refugees are not receiving the protection they need and to which they are entitled. We need to re-establish the integrity of the international refugee protection regime. In today’s world, no community or country providing safe refuge to people fleeing war or persecution should be alone and unsupported. We stand together, or we fail.” António Guterres (UN Secretary-General)

Even though Hong Kong is not a signatory to the refugee convention, yet it has a rich history in offering shelter to refugees since the 19th century to today…

Would you like to hear first-hand from refugees themselves? Would you like to listen to refugee advocates?

Please join our World Refugee Day celebration.
