University corridors: an opportunity for refugee students

Description

Access to education is a fundamental human right and must be guaranteed and protected. People forced to flee war, persecution or violence often do not have the opportunity to continue their education in the country where they have found protection. Thanks to the University Corridors for Refugee Students (UNI-CO-RE) project five refugee students in Ethiopia will be able to continue their studies at the University of Bologna, Italy. *** UNHCR, the UN Refugee Agency, is a global organization dedicated to saving lives, protecting rights and building a better future for refugees, forcibly displaced communities and stateless people. We work to ensure that everybody has the right to seek asylum and find safe refuge, having fled violence, persecution, war or disaster at home. Since 1950, we have faced multiple crises on multiple continents, and provided vital assistance to refugees, asylum-seekers, internally displaced and stateless people, many of whom have nobody left to turn to. We help to save lives and build better futures for millions forced from home.
