A concert will be held in Humenne, where a new refugee centre will be opened on World Refugee Day, involving popular Slovak singers, celebrities and young refugees.
Students at secondary schools will be invited to write essays on the theme, "If I were a refugee", or "What I know about refugees". The contest will be organised by UNHCR in co-operation of the Ministry of Education as part of the final examination.
