Arts and crafts day for residents and refugees

People can try Ukrainian Vinok wreath-making and other crafts

A community arts day is being held to bring residents and refugees together in Warwick.

The programme of workshops, performances, storytelling, poetry, art and food is being held on Friday to mark World Refugee Day.

Warwickshire County Council said the event, part of International Refugee Week, would shine "a spotlight on the powerful role of community in creating a welcoming and inclusive place for all".

As part of the event, a "unity quilt" stitched by people who have recently arrived in the UK will be on display. People can also try out Brazilian and Ukrainian crafts.

"Refugee dream boards", showcasing the hopes and aspirations of displaced people, will also be included in the exhibition and activities will include a language laboratory where visitors can try out greetings in multiple languages.

Latinas living in Warwickshire will lead crafts include Fuxico flower-making, which involves sewing fabric circles into puffs and making flower-like decorations.

People can also try Ukrainian Vinok wreath-making and workshops will look at the meaning behind the floral headpiece.

Activities get under way at 10:00 BST at the Old Shire Hall and continue until 16:00 BST.
