Refugee Week is a UK wide festival that celebrates the great contribution made by refugees to UK life and promotes understanding of why people become refugees. Every year hundreds of arts, cultural and educational events are organised across the UK. Celebrating Sanctuary, part of the summer-long Coin Street Festival, launched Refugee Week and celebrated the evolving and positive contribution of refugees to cultural life in London and the UK. Refugee Week is organised in partnership with Amnesty International UK, British Red Cross, International Rescue Committee UK, Refugee Action, British Refugee Council, Save the Children, Welsh Refugee Council, UNHCR, Scottish Refugee Council, Arts Council England, Greater London Authority and the Refugees and the Arts Initiative.

The MMPK features short excerpts from the live performances of acclaimed acts including Oi Va Voi, Emmanuel Jal, Szapora and Ahmed Muktar, as well as interviews with bands and organisers such UNHCR and British Red Cross.
