Elements of success : Finding good practices of integration for teachers with refugee backgrounds

Abstract

In this paper we present some key results of our EU project EMERGenCeS Erasmus+ which aims to find best practices in helping teachers with refugee backgrounds integrate into European Union countries. We collected data about refugee-educational initiatives and media-reported success stories from seven EU countries, looking for factors in the data that help refugees make use of their previous knowledge and find meaningful careers in their host countries. The aim of this project is to contribute new perspectives to discussions about learning in refugee integration contexts.
