World Refugee Day at Scalabrini Centre Cape Town
In 2017 we will celebrate World Refugee Day through a media campaign.
The campaign will celebrate and unite those who welcome others in their own spaces. It will highlight the message that, no matter who you are or where you are from – whether you are a migrant in South Africa, South African, or a person who is in another country, where there are South African migrants – ‘my house is your house’.
