  About Us World Refugee Day Press Pictures
  World Refugee Day, observed June 20 each year, is dedicated to raising awareness of the situation of refugees throughout the world.

 

The European Council on Refugees & Exiles (ECRE) is an Alliance of refugee-assisting organisations who work together to promote the respect for and protection of asylum-seekers and refugees.

This year ECRE has organised an Umbrella March, with the umbrella as symbol of care and shelter for those fleeing persecution. The March will take place in 8 European capitals simultaneously.

Join the Umbrella Parade, where asylum-seekers, refugees and supporters will meet to celebrate the protection of refugees. Click on the umbrellas to find out what is going on in a city near you!
