Refugees, Interculturalism and Education by Taylor & Francis Group Pdf
Refugees, Interculturalism and Education focuses on the sensitive issue of forced migration and education from an intercultural perspective. The volume comprises diverse projects and classroom experiences in different countries, involving today's ever-increasing population of human beings who, for different reasons, are compelled to abandon their homelands and seek better living conditions in strange places where they are not normally welcome. Such a reality poses great challenges to the nations and educational systems that receive these groups and brings intercultural education to the centre of the discussion. The contributors to this book call attention to the importance of providing these refugee populations with a humanistic, stimulating and transformative educational setting in order to let them know that their lives are important and that their histories matter. The chapters in this book were originally published in Intercultural Education.
Handbook of Research on Promoting Social Justice for Immigrants and Refugees Through Active Citizenship and Intercultural Education by Barreto, Isabel María Gómez Pdf
Migration movements have been a constant in the societies of the past, as well as in postmodern society. However, in the past ten years, the increase in political, economic, and religious conflict amongst nations; the increase of the poverty index; and many and various natural disasters have duplicated the forced displacement of millions of people across the seven continents of the planet. This situation brings important challenges in terms of the vulnerability, inequity, and discrimination that certain peoples suffer. Professionals from the fields of the social sciences, education, psychology, and international law share the fact that education represents an opportunity for children and young migrants to become members with full rights in the societies they arrive in. Empirical studies show that that the implementation of the right to education for migrants presents some challenges and dilemmas to the governments of host countries and more specifically to the education centers, NGOs, universities, and the professionals working in them, hence the need for more research on these issues of immigration, refugees, social justice, and intercultural education. The Handbook of Research on Promoting Social Justice for Immigrants and Refugees Through Active Citizenship and Intercultural Education provides visibility to issues such as the increase in migration and displacement and the difficulties in political agreements, educational contexts, and in cultural issues, stigmatization, vulnerability, social exclusion, racism, and hatred amongst host communities. This book gives possible solutions to this current complex situation and helps foster and promote sensitivity, perspective, and critical thinking for a respectful and tolerant coexistence and promotion of equity and social justice. The chapters promote cultural diversity and inclusion in classrooms by offering knowledge, strategies, and research on organizational development for educational institutions and multicultural environments. This book is essential for administrators, policymakers, leaders, teachers, practitioners, researchers, academicians, and students interested in the promotion of social justice in education for immigrants and refugees.

Intercultural Challenges for the Reintegration of Displaced Professionals by Tony Johnstone Young,Sara Ganassin,Stefanie Schneider,Alina Schartner,Steve Walsh Pdf
This book critically reflects on the challenges faced by refugee aspirant professionals in securing employment and the ways in which professional intercultural competence development and attendant language learning practices can help facilitate the professional (re)integration in these communities. The volume draws on data from a large-scale research project that saw refugee aspirant professionals, researchers, and volunteer language teachers working together to develop and operationalise key intercultural skills needed for professional employment in the UK, the Netherlands, and Austria, ultimately culminating in a toolkit of free online resources co-designed to meet the needs of communities and facilitate the development of these practices across Europe. Detailed analyses of the data drawn from the project allow for critical reflections on co-production in intercultural spaces and researchers’ positionality, power relations, and ethical choices in multilingual contexts. Taken together, the book offers both theoretical and practical considerations for application beyond the European context toward better facilitating the professional (re)integration of migrant communities on a more global scale. The book will be of particular interest to students and researchers in intercultural communication, refugee studies, and language education.

The Integration of refugee children in the German education system with the help of an Intercultural Training by Alexine Zapf Pdf
Masterarbeit aus dem Jahr 2019 im Fachbereich Pädagogik - Schulwesen, Bildungs- u. Schulpolitik, University of Sheffield, Sprache: Deutsch, Abstract: This dissertation presents the background and context to the process whereby very large numbers of child refugees are being taught in German schools today. It does this in order to identify and specify the various issues this movement of non-native young people into the German educational system has raised, in terms of how to integrate them into the existing system and culture. By delineating the problems and difficulties involved, it sets out the need to develop training materials that can support such refugee children and effectively promote their integration into the German school system and society and further personal development. In order to get the needed data, an online questionnaire focusing on the teacher’s perspective was designed. It goes on to present materials designed to facilitate this process, this being a key objective of this study. In the context of this study, the training material could not be tested, but it in this way the dissertation emphasises that intercultural training can be a great help in the integration of refugees, whether they are young children or adults. Since the migrant crisis began in 2015, over three million refugees have travelled across the Mediterranean Sea or overland to Europe in search of a new and safe home. They are fleeing violence against civilians, and severe violations of human rights and international laws. Syria, one of the most problematic home countries for refugees, generated 6.7 million fugitives, as war crimes and human rights abuses are common. The Assad regime has systematically cut medical and food supplies to the population. Terrorist and bomb attacks on residential areas are not uncommon. Moreover, air raids by the USA, Russia and Turkey threaten the lives of millions of civilians in the country. ISIS (Islamic State of Iraq and Syria) has sought to spread their ideology, uses terrorist attacks, abductions and public torture to achieve their goal of creating a new state, forcing millions of people to flee their home countries. According to UNHCR over 2.1 million people were displaced inside Iraq, as of April 2018. Other travelled from south and east Europe, the greater Middle East and Africa.

Education and Migration by Prue Holmes,Richard Fay,Jane Andrews Pdf
From an international, research-led perspective, this book explores how languages are foregrounded in education in different countries and educational sectors, and among different groups of people in contexts of migration. It is concerned with the movement of people and their languages as they migrate across borders, and as languages—and their speakers—are under threat, pressure and pain, even to the point of being silenced. The contributors explore the multilingual possibilities and opportunities that these situations present. For example: where children’s education is neglected because of displacement or exclusion; or in classrooms where teachers and educational leaders seek to meet the needs of all learners, including those who are new citizens, refugees, or asylum seekers. Together, the findings and conclusions emerging from these studies open up a timely space for interdisciplinary, inter-practitioner, and comparative researcher dialogue concerning languages and intercultural education in times of migration. Originating from an Arts and Humanities Research Council funded project "Researching multilingually at the borders of language, the body, law and the state", this book provides readers with a natural impetus for exploring how languages and their speakers create new imaginaries and new possibilities in educational contexts and communities, as people engage with one another in and through these languages. This book was originally published as a special issue of Language and Intercultural Communication.

Challenges and Initiatives in Refugee Education by Aspasia Chatzidaki,Roula Tsokalidou Pdf
As a result of the massive refugee flows in 2015-2016, more than 50,000 refugees and asylum seekers were stranded in Greece, awaiting decisions regarding their status. Meanwhile, the Greek state itself was completely unprepared to provide shelter and education to these populations. This collection of papers presents educational initiatives undertaken by both official and unofficial agencies in order to provide Greek language courses to refugee students of various ages. The studies presented here highlight various challenges such as the teachers’ inexperience and lack of material and infrastructure, the students’ diversity in terms of ethnic, social and educational background, and their lack of motivation and sense of stability. Moreover, the contributions here point to the importance of adopting innovative and holistic approaches to teaching refugee populations. Such approaches take into account their linguistic and cultural capital, as well as the need to empower them through the learning process. This volume will be of interest to researchers, policy makers and practitioners involved in refugee education in Europe and beyond.
