The aim of the webinar is to address the critical role of academic institutions in supporting communities during times of crisis, particularly focusing on the challenges faced by refugees. This webinar seeks to explore and share innovative strategies and practices that can enhance resilience, promote freedom of choice, and facilitate the integration and recognition of refugees' skills within the higher education landscape. By fostering a dialogue among academics, policymakers, and practitioners, the webinar aims to contribute to the development of more inclusive, responsive, and socially engaged higher education systems that are well-equipped to meet the needs of diverse populations, thereby strengthening the fabric of our societies in times of adversity.
