On World Refugee Day, join UNHCR and other organizations across the United States in celebrating the strength and contributions of refugees.

To support your event, UNHCR will offer free posters on this year’s World Refugee Day theme, “Real People, Real Needs”, on a first come first served basis. UNHCR will provide sample sets of materials and printing files should you wish to print larger quantities for distribution at your event. We will also make available a World Refugee Day public service announcement by Angelina Jolie, Goodwill Ambassador for the UN Refugee Agency (DVD format).

Email us your organization name, event date, location, event summary and contact information, as well as your request for materials.
