Refugee Education Reimagined: A Pedagogy of Hope
from PRIO Events
On May 20, PRIO hosted a seminar on how education can enable refugees and communities to build durable futures when there is great uncertainty about where these futures will be. Recognizing the protracted nature of refugee situations, the UN Refugee Agency (UNHCR) prioritizes the integration of refugees into the national education systems of host countries. How does this strategy work in practice for refugee children, when education systems focus on creating national citizens of the future? What aspirations do pupils, their communities, teachers, national authorities and donors have for refugee education? Drawing on findings from the REBuilD project, this conference explored these questions with the aim to reimagine what education can offer refugees and nation-states. SpeakersCindy Horst, Research Professor, PRIOHassan Aden, Doctoral Candidate/ Doctoral Researcher, University of Gothenburg / PRIOAbdirahman Edle (Ali), Doctoral Candidate, Institute for Development Studies (IDS), Nairobi and University of CopenhagenAnne Marie Eiby, Teacher, Kuben Secondary School in OsloRonit Cohen, Senior Education Advisor, Save the ChildrenMarte Nilsen, Senior Researcher, PRIOFor more information about this event, please visit: https://www.prio.org/events/8935 Hosted on Acast.
