World Refugee Day 

The Learning Communities Team —

Nearly 65 million people are displaced worldwide. Each day thousands more flee their homes. On 20 June, the world commemorates the strength, courage, and resilience of millions of refugees.  

Show your solidarity by signing the petition of this year launched by UNHCR to support a global compact for refugee, which will be signed in 2018.The petition asks governments to:

· Ensure every refugee child gets an education.

· Ensure every refugee family has somewhere safe to live.

· Ensure every refugee can work or learn new skills to make a positive contribution to their community.

Add your name to the petition to show that the world stands #WithRefugees. As of today 1,512,007 people have pledged their support to the campaign. Access the website of UNHCR to sign the petition: http://www.unhcr.org/refugeeday/
