The AGILE project revolves around 5 work packages. The work package 2 "Landscape analysis of Higher Education crisis support mechnaisms for refugee students" addresses our first specific objective: “Foster and assess the integration of refugees in their professional and study life as well as in society through 3-level interventions”. WP2 contributes to AGILE’s general objective which is to increase resilience of inclusive HE systems to address ongoing needs of refugees through social participation and recognition of skills in their
learning pathways.
WP2 aims to shed light on the drivers and barriers of socially inclusive Higher Education curricula for refugee students by bringing together HEIs that are already pioneers in developing educational courses for refugees with HEIs and organisations that are newcomers in the field.
Under the WP2, the AGILE consortium completed a systematic study tracing the learning and career pathway of graduate refugees after they have obtained their degree or any other “certification” for learning the language of the host country.

We:

• organised two round tables where academic staff of European universities offering refugee education programmes discussed latest updates in curriculum design for this target group.
• set up a survey with refugee graduate students οn their sociolinguistic and academic integration to better understand their perspectives and experiences on how it felt like for them to study in a foreign HEI and learn a subject.
• hosted two round tables with refugee graduate students (or students being in the process of graduating)
• hosted one round table with policy makers to discuss issues like transition to HE institutions and academia-society potential in refugee students’ integration.
• designed principles for improved HE curricula and institutional change
• we released the findings of all WP2 activities as an open access publication translated in partner languages.
