The best of teachers (@mattcone2) and of high school students. They inspired me to keep education alive with stories of refugees and why people seek and need asylum. https://t.co/O3uOcLBfaX

"I have seen too many situations where generations of refugee children have missed out on going to school. We have to say – never again." - @RefugeesChief Big education focus at #UNGA on #RefugeeEducation But still, 4 million refugee children are not in school. https://t.co/bYDwuE6mGI

"While global headlines on refugees can be dominated by alarmist views, there’s a quieter revolution under way. This is driven by pragmatic, entrepreneurial people who see opportunities where others see threats..." - @RefugeesChief https://t.co/awACMJgS7K

Important @TEDtalks talk by Syrian refugee, Sana Mustafa, founder of https://t.co/S6EpUqYeQe on why refugees should have self-representation and a seat at the table. "We have the voice. We don't need someone to give us the voice." https://t.co/BGk8nyiB1t

His hospital has no anesthesia, the operating theatre doesn’t have proper lighting and the generator regularly fails. Even in these circumstances, our 2018 #NansenAward winner Dr. Atar works tirelessly to provide medical care for over 144,000 refugees. https://t.co/4zmq2ulh28

@prinzadolin Indeed, the new Compact reaffirms the responsibilities in the Refugee Convention while providing a blueprint for better responsibility and burden sharing. This is a good explainer piece just out: https://t.co/orV7J6wZOp

Why is Canada a champion of the Global Compact on Refugees? Why the Compact could be a game changer for refugees and countries hosting them? Excellent piece by @HonAhmedHussen + @mclaudebibeau & @jnbeuze #UNGA https://t.co/orV7J6wZOp

The Global Compact on Refugees, soon to be adopted, recognizes that protecting refugees is an international responsibility. Also that 85% of the world's refugees found safety in developing countries. These countries, and the refugees they host, deserve global solidarity. #UNGA https://t.co/Ex023r4Odk

"I am asking you leaders to...please help me/ UNHCR (to show that) better ways to what many consider an intractable problem, are possible. We owe it to millions of uprooted & displaced people & we owe it to their generous hosts." #UNGA @RefugeesChief Global Compact for Refugees https://t.co/YhN33U9FdX
