Shifting the Narrative
Access to university is out of reach for most refugees due to a mismatch between the resources needed and those available. It’s time to reframe the story.
At Mosaik, we’re shifting the narrative to showcase the transformative opportunities that come from investing in refugee university access. Here’s how:
Highlighting the opportunities of investing in refugee education
Refugee university access achieves far-reaching goals. For development agencies, it drives outcomes in school retention, gender equality, migration management, community cohesion, and labour market development. For global universities, it advances social impact, equity, academic growth, and access to emerging education markets.
Elevating the voices of young refugees
Refugee youth are often excluded from decisions that shape their futures. Our advocacy amplifies their perspectives, showcasing their talents and achievements as students and graduates. By changing perceptions, we reveal the opportunities that come from investing in their potential.
Transforming the cost of refugee university access
Scaling access to higher education for refugees often requires changes to national policies, such as reclassifying refugees as domestic rather than international students. We develop partnerships by leveraging our expertise in reaching refugee communities, the insights of the refugee youth who lead our programmes, and data that highlights challenges faced by both refugee and host-community students. Together, these efforts build the case for transformative, scalable solutions.
