Integration of Refugees in Higher Education

The book «Integration of Refugees in Higher Education» is the result of a hard work over more than three years as part of a capacity building project under the Erasmus + program, funded by the European Commission and coordinated by Mohamed Lamine Debaghine Sétif 2 University, in Algeria. Ci-RES, «creation of institutional capacities for the integration of refugees in higher education» is a pilot initiative which aims to reformulate and/or create organic and institutional laws around the question of refugees in order to support them in their process of integration into the Algerian higher education system. The book brings together the research work of the Ci-RES consortium composed of researchers from Algeria, Spain, Italy and France. It touches on the various legal, pedagogical, learning-by-service aspects but also the development of digital, intercultural and professional competences. The content provides an understanding of international and national refugee integration mechanisms. It analyzes the strengths, weaknesses, opportunities and threats related to the integration of this category of the population and proposes an appropriate methodology, developed on the basis of good national practices allowing the reception, care and development of refugees through a human rights-based approach.
