Community Rights in Greece

Today at Refugee Week Greece opening of the exhibition Memory and Courage.

The exhibition honours diverse perspectives and experiences surrounding the concept of courage and marks the 75th anniversary of the 1951 Refugee Convention.

Four newly commissioned works by artists with refugee, migrant, or diasporic backgrounds, created with the support of ACCMR, will be presented alongside historical archive material from UNHCR as part of Refugee Week Greece 2026. The participating artists are Alina Kash*tsyna, Safaa Odah and Christopher Lappas, Hamza Matyaqubov, and Aggelos Barai.

The exhibition is organised by UNHCR, the UN Refugee Agency | UNHCR Ελλάδα, the Athens Coordination Centre for Migrants and Refugees (ACCMR), and We Are Community, as part of Refugee Week Greece 2026.

Today, Moussa Sangaré, the representative of our Community , had the pleasure of meeting with Dr. Christina A. Velentza, ASAM Greece Country Representative.

During this meeting, we learned more about the organization, its structure, and the important work it carries out.

We look forward to our next meeting and future opportunities for collaboration.
