"From Unrecognized Talent to Shared Prosperity: Social Investment in Refugees and Newcomers through Higher Education"
The FWO project From Camp to Campus offers a week-long course on the challenges and opportunities associated with investing in refugees and newcomers by improving access to higher education, not only for refugees and migrants, but also for all students concerned with lifelong learning.
For professionals working with refugees and migrants in academia, government, industry, NGOs, or related sectors, this is an opportunity to gain a deeper understanding of how higher education can act as an agent of positive change in and for society. We will also explore how systems, attitudes, and procedures can create unintended hurdles that prevent vulnerable students, including native-born students, from developing their talent and potential for the benefit of society as a whole and make suggestions on how to remedy that. Participants may register for the full week or for individual days that match their professional interests. Those who complete the full programme and complete a short reflection will receive a certificate “Social Investment in Refugees and Newcomers through Higher Education” and academically recognized Microcredential (3 ECTS). Participants attending individual sessions during a day or several days will receive a certificate of participation for each day of participation.
The Fall School is organised as part of From Camp to Campus (S003124N), a project funded by FWO – Research Foundation Flanders.
