Video Project “Pathways to Educational Resilience and Inclusion”
Portrays of promising practices addressing major challenges faced in the inclusion of “newly arrived students” in countries of transit and refuge that are located in the field of formal and informal education. The videos are meant to disseminate knowledge, provide information and inspiration to people who work with this group in different contexts and under different circumstances. The first three videos address the necessity of tapping into the funds of knowledge of refugee students.
