Today Laura Wills, HRLC Researcher and
Forced Migration Unit Member, will be joining the
Academic Cooperation Association (ACA) and the
German Academic Exchange Service (DAAD) in Brussels for the first peer learning (PLA) activity of their
GREET Project. GREET (Guiding Refugees via European Exchange and Training) is funded under the Horizon 2020 Science4Refugees call and aims to contribute to the integration of highly skilled refugees in European higher education.
The PLA will bring together experts from nine European countries (Austria, Belgium, Germany, Finland, France, Norway, Sweden and the UK) to identify promising practices that facilitate the integration of highly skilled refugees in higher education institutions. Findings will be disseminated at the EU and national levels via a stakeholder meeting and webinars.
During the PLA Miss Wills will be moderating a breakout session regarding entering university as a refugee student. The session will identify and address barriers faced by refugee students when entering the student cycle.
