This year’s theme, “We’re All In,” celebrates our diversity and shared values, bringing together all Durham residents, including immigrants and refugees. Below is the list of events where you can connect, learn, and celebrate our vibrant community!
What is Welcoming Week?
Welcoming Week is an annual campaign and celebration to showcase the movement of communities striving to be more welcoming places for all, including immigrants. Launched in 2012 by Welcoming America and its members, Welcoming Week provides individuals and communities the opportunity to proclaim welcoming values through events and local initiatives that foster mutual understanding between immigrants and non-immigrants, as well as deeper belonging for all.
