Manifesto on an Inclusive University

Nel novembre 2019 anche l'Università Cattolica ha sottoscritto il Manifesto dell'Università Inclusiva promosso da UNHCR. Nato dalla consapevolezza che le esperienze culturali, tecniche e intellettuali, maturate dai rifugiati in varie parti del mondo, possano costituire una grande risorsa per l’Italia, il Manifesto pone al centro la condizione dei giovani titolari di protezione internazionale e temporanea che intendono proseguire il loro percorso di studi e ricerca nel Paese di asilo.

Facilitate refugees’ access to higher education and research, promote social integration and active participation in academic life

The principles of the manifesto

Schools and universities offer an important opportunity for young people fleeing violence and persecution, representing a fundamental step along their path of personal and professional fulfillment and social inclusion. (Credits @UNHCR).
