Join us and listen to Humphrey, Inna, Jessie, Sandy, Hind, Maryam and Kerene when they take to the stage to share their stories.
On 9 December, UNHCR, the UN Refugee Agency, will be passing the mic to seven speakers with refugee backgrounds and impactful stories to share. The speakers are participants from UNHCR’s Refugee Speakers Programme, a programme in collaboration with coaches from TEDx, to amplify refugee voices and experiences.
Join us on the evening of 9 December and listen to the stories of Humphrey, Inna, Maryam, Sandy, Kerene, Hind and Jessie, when they take to the stage to share their personal experiences of fleeing home, of dangerous journeys, of separation and uncertainty, but also of hope and building a new life in Sweden.
As the Refugee Convention turns 75 years old, in a world with more than 117 million people forcibly displaced, and as new wars and conflicts erupt while protracted crises persist, we need to remember that behind each figure is a human being with a story.
We are proud to feature the World Orchestra (Flen Världsorkester) - an extraordinary global collective founded in 2015 that brings together professional and amateur musicians from all over the world to celebrate cultural diversity through the universal language of music.
Thank you to Maxim Stockholm for making this event possible.
