    There is no migration/refugee crisis in Europe. Very low arrival and "secondary movement" figures are the opportunity for EU states to focus together on real issues like asylum reform, safe pathways and more+better aid to refugee hosting+transit countries.

    Many thanks to the for standing by giving us an opportunity to pursue tertiary education. Less than 1% of the world's 25.4 million refugees get to go to university.

    We've had feedback over the last week that some people are unhappy with our plan to offer up to 14 scholarships to refugees living in the local area. To these people, we would like to say: Tough. Jog on.

    Imagine sound of the thunder. ⛈️ After your village has been burned to the ground. After you've fled. After you've survived the dangerous journey. After you're given a bamboo shelter to survive. After you realize the monsoon is coming. It's terrifying.

    Young refugees are active as community workers in Rohingya settlements in Bangladesh. They help refugees understand, speak out, be heard and participate. A great project supported by UNHCR.
