Creating an inclusive school climate for refugee students

Jun 20, 2022 03:00 PM (Paris)

Across the globe, large-scale conflicts and the fear of persecution force
people to flee their homes and take refuge in another country. The recent
war in Ukraine, for example, has resulted in the arrival of millions of
refugees in neighbouring countries. In all cases, school-age children are
among the new arrivals, meaning that host countries need to find ways to
integrate them into the local school system.

But how can this be done effectively? This webinar on World Refugee Day
will look at what is needed to help arriving students feel safe, included
and able to participate in the schools of their host countries. We’ll
address the specific challenges refugee students face, as well as the
support teachers need to help these students, and discuss which types of
programmes work best.

Speakers include:

-Rory McDaid, Director of Research, Marino Institute of Education, Ireland
-Frederik Smets, Education Officer, Regional Bureau for Europe, UNHCR
-Lucie Cerna, Project Leader, Strength through Diversity, OECD
-Jody McBrien, Secondee, OECD, and Professor, University of South Florida

Moderated by Francesca Gottschalk, Analyst, OECD Directorate for Education
and Skills
