More than half of all school-age refugee children are out of school. In most protracted situations of displacement, inclusion in the host-countries' education systems is the only sustainable solution to educate the world's refugees. GPE's Anna-Maria Tammi and Meredith Bouvier explain how a new GPE policy dialogue tool can make education planning processes more inclusive for refugees - benefitting both refugee children and children in host communities: http://g.pe/UHj150SnnCN #FundEducation

Another critical issue that needs to be discussed is the "school-age itself" especially for refugees whose education systems in their home countries are often broken and fail to provide early education. Many refugees struggle to pursue higher education at an older age, and when displacement disrupts their lives again, their educational aspirations are put at risk. By the time they can focus on education again, many are beyond the typical school age, which becomes a significant barrier to accessing educational opportunities like scholarships. We need education to be age-inclusive, recognizing that anyone with the zeal to pursue learning should have the opportunity to do so, regardless of their age.

📽 Today’s World Refugee Day honors and celebrates the more than 100 million people who have had to flee their home countries to escape conflict, persecution or economic hardship. Most of these refugees will not be able to return home any time soon. They face the challenge of rebuilding their lives elsewhere. As part of our work with UNHCR, the UN Refugee Agency, we studied how collaboration between humanitarian and development actors has helped foster refugees’ self-reliance in their host countries. Watch this video, produced together with Awe Studio, to learn more about the positive effects of efforts to include refugees in the economic and social life of host communities: https://lnkd.in/dKed6d_u.

📽 More than 100 million people are forcibly displaced worldwide. And most will not be able to go back home any time soon. They face the challenge of having to rebuild their lives elsewhere. To help displaced people become more self-reliant as they do so, different actors – including humanitarian and development organizations – have been increasingly working together to foster refugees’ economic and social inclusion. To gauge how effective this approach has been so far, we partnered up with ISDC - International Security and Development Center to look at UNHCR, the UN Refugee Agency’s work in Colombia, Jordan & Kenya. Our research confirmed that efforts to include refugees in local development programs are yielding tangible benefits – for both refugees and the communities that host them.

🌍 Today, on World Refugee Day, let's pause to honor the resilience and strength of refugees worldwide. In Uganda, the growing refugee population presents challenges, straining resources and exacerbating unemployment issues. This often leads to early marriages, Abuse, etc But amidst these challenges, there's hope. Empowering refugees to create their own opportunities is key. By investing in their potential, we transform individual lives, strengthen communities, and foster economic inclusivity. Let's unite to build a future where every refugee thrives and contributes meaningfully. Together, we can make a difference. #WorldRefugeeDay #Empowerment #InclusiveEconomy

World Refugee Day is observed annually on June 20th. This date celebrates the resilience, courage, and impacts of refugees worldwide. It is a day dedicated to raising awareness about the plight of forcibly displaced individuals and advocating for their rights, protection, and well-being. Every year, We Are All America (WAAA) invites local leaders, partners, and advocates to join a series of impactful actions and events aimed at celebrating our refugee communities, engaging local elected officials, and learning more about ways to support refugees and refugee resettlement.  As part of these efforts, WAAA, Refugee Congress, Refugee Advocacy Lab, and IRAP are launching a Digital Week of Action, a dynamic initiative designed to mobilize the field of forcibly displaced people and their supporters. This week-long campaign harnesses the power of social media, online platforms, and digital advocacy to amplify the voices of refugees, share their stories, and highlight the urgent need for robust refugee protections and resettlement programs. https://lnkd.in/gBxPEivU

Congratulations Mursal Hedayat MBE and the team at Chatterbox on your CPD Accreditation. Mursal's call to action to 'change the dialogue' is critically important. Two things: If you lead a global team who would benefit from world-changing language courses, delivered by marginalised talent, check out Chatterbox. And if you haven't watched The Swimmers on Netflix yet, add it to your watchlist. The world can be a frightening place which is why organisations like Chatterbox who turn the need for survival into the ability to thrive are so crucial.

When it comes to refugees, the narrative from our politicians and the media is damaging. Chatterbox recently earned CPD accreditation 🏅 As a founder, it’s a huge achievement for our training to be recognised as meeting the highest industry standards. But for me personally, it is more significant. It contributes to the wider mission we are on to reshape perceptions of refugees and other underestimated people.
