Refugee & Migrant Education Emergency. Conference at the Pontifical Urbaniana University

The Refugee and Migrant Education Network opened an international conference at the Pontifical Urbaniana University in Rome on September 30. The event, titled "Refugee & Migrant Education: Voices in Action," aims to find shared strategies to increase educational access and inclusion for people forced to leave their home countries.

The conference brings together scholars, representatives from United Nations agencies, international organizations, refugee students, civil society members, and Church-based organizations. Participants are meeting to address the interruption of education for millions of people displaced by violence, poverty, war, and climate change.

The Refugee and Migrant Education Network, which was founded in 2018, organizes the meeting to connect universities, non-governmental organizations, and international agencies. The network operates on the principle that collaboration between these groups strengthens the support provided to displaced persons. The conference is scheduled to conclude on October 2.
