Local | Hejfestivalen! takes the national day a step further

– Today we meet again and again by headlines that tell us about dislike and prejudice against people who fled for their lives. Neighbours who are arguing for refugee homes, parents who do not want to let their children share the school with unaccompanied minors. We want to show the society that we as volunteers can see, every day, where a majority are tolerant and compassionate, says Najma Mohamed, project manager of Refugees Welcome Stockholm.
A large language café will open the festival day pass, which runs between the hours of 13 and 17 with free admission and open to all ages.
– We will also collect money during the evening and everything that enters plus any surplus from the festival will go to the International acquaintances and Refugees Welcome Stockholm integration work and to MSF‘s work in refugee camps around the world, says Andreas Bjunér, project manager of the International acquaintances.

The association works to people displaced should receive a dignified treatment and association volunteers are easily recognizable by their pink jackets.
