[Peace Academy 2024] An ‘online’ lecture for strengthening the capacity of refugee supporters
* Topic: Refugee youth talk about higher education * Date and time: 12.17 (Tue) 7:00 PM-9:00 PM * Speakers: Three refugee youth (a computer science student, a fashion design student, and a Korean language institute student) * Registration: https://forms.gle/ytLa3qtB7Briocfk8 * The Zoom link will be sent to those who register on the morning of 12.17.
Higher education is a major way to promote the social and economic integration of refugees. However, because of problems such as language barriers and unstable residence status, many refugee children, adolescents, and young adults have difficulty accessing higher education.
In this lecture, refugee youth who are building their own lives in Korea share their actual experiences. Through the three young speakers’ experiences of preparing for university and of university life, we hope to gain a deeper understanding of adolescence and young adulthood among refugees and to explore ways to widen opportunities for refugee children, adolescents, and young adults to receive higher education.
