On Friday, October 22nd, the Hubs for Connected Learning Initiatives invites OSUN members to a panel on "Navigating the Contours of Refugee-Related Advocacy Initiatives."
The discussion will examine key global efforts to advocate for higher education opportunities for refugees and displaced people. It will ask -- and problematize -- how advocacy initiatives are determined, shaped, and executed by looking at the approaches of INGOs, universities, and refugee-led organizations. The panel will specifically address advocacy efforts with host country ministries and states, third country states and universities, and foundations.
