A series of exciting events, talks, workshops, and performances are lined up for the third edition of the Shared Future Festival 2023 on Sunday 2 July 2023.

We join hands with Elmbridge CAN, Elmbridge Cares, and the local communities to celebrate the importance of community, diversity, and sustainability, and continuing to build a better future both globally and within Elmbridge. 

The theme of this year's refugee week is compassion.

Exciting events included street food stalls, craft stalls, talks by guest speakers (including Ex Afghan Minister of Women's Affairs), St Georges School 6th Form students talk, music, and Syrian and Turkish dancing, choir performance by Sing Squad, free Maypole dancing workshop (pre-book online), free African Drumming workshop (pre-book online), and a film screening.
