Refugee Week Malta 2026 explores ‘qlubija’

This year’s edition, built around the international theme of ‘courage’, is taking place this week

The local edition of Refugee Week, the world’s largest arts and culture festival celebrating the creativity, contributions and resilience of people seeking sanctuary, is taking place this week until Sunday, June 21, in several venues across the island.

This year’s edition is built around the international theme of ‘courage’, explored locally through the Maltese word qlubija. While both qlubija and kuraġġ can be translated as courage, qlubija was chosen to reflect a deeper, more embodied understanding of the concept.
