The
goal of this
event is to promote awareness and respect for differing cultures and to
raise the international consciousness of Austinites. International
Refugee Day highlights the diverse population of refugees who live in
Austin and
the organizations that work with them. There is also be an educational
component to the day, where organizations have display tables to
present information about the services they offer refugees and the
countries refugees come from as well as the catastrophic events that
have led to their being forced out of their countries.
 International Refugee Day is free and open to all people living in Austin and surrounding
areas.
