Resource | Refugee Stories: Education: Obstacles and Aspirations draws on findings from a doctoral research on young refugees’ educational experiences in England. The study investigated how young refugee people and their families have encountered the education system while considering the implications of living as refugees in England. Young refugee people’s right to education is enshrined in British law; however, the UK has no specific educational policy for them.Invisibilizing practices add to the silence around their experiences and needs. Refugee Stories tells young refugees’ and families’ stories to amplify their voices and shine a light on the social and material conditions they experience.

Resource | Pedagogies of Belonging: Educators Building Welcoming Communities in Settings of Conflict & Migration is a book is about educators, and for educators, and the practices they have developed to create welcoming communities in settings of migration.

We learn from educators how they build welcoming communities, how they create space for dissent, for dialogue, for trust, for new identities, for future-building, and how they envision and build newly imagined communities.
