An afternoon of storytelling and music to celebrate Ukrainian refugees and friends as part of Refugee Festival Scotland 2026
About this Event

Join us for Refugee Sangs an’ Clatter / Homin ta Spiv, an afternoon of storytelling and music featuring professional and community performers from the Ukrainian diaspora and friends. Come along to celebrate our shared creativity and cultural heritage as we build a future together. Whether you’re a lifelong Glaswegian or new to the city, we invite you to join our open mic and share a poem, story, or song!

Would you like to share a story, poem, or song at our event? We are looking for short pieces (5 minutes) that reflect the themes of Refugee Festival Scotland 2026: celebration, collaboration, and building a shared future.

We welcome performances in English and your native language (with a brief English summary) and encourage you to share your story from the memory if you can—though reading is also welcome!

To be included in the programme, please send an email to Daiva and Olga [email protected] and [email protected] 

We can't wait to hear from you!

This event is brought to you by the Village Storytelling Centre and Dovira Project.

The event image is a painting A Dove Has Spread Her Wings and Asks for Peace by the Ukrainian artist Maria Prymachenko.


Приєднуйтесь до нас на події «Refugee Sangs an’ Clatter / Homin ta Spiv» дні музики та живого слова, де зустрінуться професійні митці й учасники громад із української діаспори та наші друзі.

Запрошуємо разом відсвяткувати силу творчості, культурну спадщину та народження нових історій, що допомагають нам будувати спільне майбутнє. Незалежно від того, чи ви все життя живете в Глазго, чи лише нещодавно приїхали до міста, ми радо відкриваємо для вас сцену відкритого мікрофона, поділіться віршем, історією або піснею.

Захід організовують Village Storytelling Centre та проєкт «Довіра».

Хочете виступити? Ми шукаємо короткі твори тривалістю 5-7 хвилин, що відображають теми Фестивалю біженців у Шотландії 2026: святкування, співпраця та творення спільного майбутнього.

Вітаємо виступи англійською та рідними мовами (із короткою анотацією англійською). За можливості заохочуємо розповідати з пам’яті, проте читання тексту також цілком прийнятне.

Щоб долучитися до програми, надішліть листа Дайві та Ользі:
