• In Event: Analyses of International Education Policy Issues

Abstract

Research has shown that refugee children, asylum seekers and unaccompanied minors’ access to quality education is jeopardized for different reasons. For these children, education should be a refuge where opportunities, sense of belonging and well-being is guaranteed to secure the further integration of everybody. This paper presents the results of the Dialogic co-creation and educational needs assessment of refugee and migrant children carried out in six Primary Spanish schools under the framework of the European Union’s Horizon 2020 research project REFUGE-ED. Findings reveal main challenges and needs faced by students, end-users and families; also needs faced at the center/organization level and at the stakeholders/surrounding community/policy makers’ level
