On the night of June 20, public buildings in Liechtenstein will be lit up in UN blue in honour of World Refugee Day.
As part of an awareness-raising campaign, UNHCR posters will be displayed along the main roads throughout the country. Schoolchildren will send written suggestions for improving the refugee situation.
On July 1, UNHCR's Representative for Switzerland and Liechtenstein, Olivier Delarue, will join the chief of the government of Liechtenstein in opening the "Kids' Guernica", featuring an exhibition of drawings by children on the theme of peace.
