UNHCR, The UN Refugee Agency, is happy to be bringing this exhibition to Wales, a Nation of Sanctuary.
A Great British Welcome tells the story of how communities across the UK welcome people who have been forced to flee.
Through cooking in Cardiff, singing in Greenwich, volunteering in Rothesay, and in many other ordinary and extraordinary ways, A Great British Welcome shows how refugees and asylum-seekers can thrive in their new communities. It also reveals how Welsh and British communities are benefiting from new talents and perspectives while welcoming their new arrivals.
A Great British Welcome stories are told by UNHCR, the UN Refugee Agency, and photographed by Andrew Testa.
