Description
The UN Refugee Agency, UNHCR launched in December 2021 a series of open discussion groups for refugees in Greece focusing on successes and challenges in the integration process. The first such session was held on 15 December in Thessaloniki, with guest speaker Mokhtar Rezai from Afghanistan. Mokhtar arrived alone in Greece in 2001 as a 15-year-old and received his refugee status some nine years later. He has attended Greek school and was the first Afghan national who sat and succeeded in the nationwide university entrance exams. Since then, he has become President of the Afghan community in Greece, the Vice-President of the Greek Refugee Forum, and the father of three daughters. He also writes about his experience as a refugee with a view to inform, inspire and bring change.
