Integration of Refugees and Migrants through Education

integration-of-refugees-and-migrants-through-educationEducation and training can support the necessary holistic inclusion strategy for socio-economic and political integration of refugees and migrants in the fabric of the host countries. Education is a public good and a human right, and in theory, few are those who doubt the importance of education as a powerful tool for social cohesion.

In practice however, we see commitment to inclusive education and lifelong learning opportunities often falling short. In its latest Position Paper on Integration of Refugees and Migrants through Education, the LLLPlatform calls on EU Member States and other relevant actors to take responsibility, comply with international laws and ensure integration of refugees and migrants into host societies using the educational tools provided in EU law and frameworks.
