Summary:

Each year the UNHCR organizes, together with the Ministry Delegate for Migration Affairs of Morocco the talent show "Refugees Got Talent" to coincide with World Refugee Day (20 June) in Morocco. The talent show promotes refugee talent and aims to spread an image of refugees based on the contributions that refugees can make to host societies.

The contest, which was hosted for the first time in 2016 by the UNHCR and the Foundation Orient-Occident, is open to all refugees living in Morocco between the ages of 16 and 65 years old.
