CALL FOR VOLUNTEERS: JOIN THE COORDINATING TEAM FOR WORLD REFUGEE DAY 2021

How can the ESU, through the TMF programme, play a leading role at European Level when it comes to access to quality education for students with refugee and migrant backgrounds? What should we do to make the voices of students and refugee students better heard? What message can we share for World Refugee Day 2021?

This is the mission of the Coordinating team!

A team of 10-15 people will be created and will e-meet from January to June 2021. On the programme: discussions with migration and education experts, co-creation of a campaign for World Refugee Day 2021 and recommendations to the ESU Board and Executive Committee on inclusion of students with refugee and migrant backgrounds.

Deadline for applying: 31 December 2020
