Behind The Pages - Podcast Of The Jeie

This is an episode of Behind the Pages - the podcast of the Journal on Education in Emergencies. Join us for these exciting and timely conversations with JEiE authors about their work on education in regions affected by crisis and conflict. According to UNHCR, only 3 percent of refugees globally have access to higher education. While several organizations have attempted to increase refugee participation in higher education, they have struggled to address the full breadth of challenges that prevent refugees from accessing these programs. In their article “Access to Higher Education: Reflections on a Participatory Design Process with Refugees,” Oula Abu-Amsha, Rebecca Gordon, Laura Benton, Mina Vasalou, and Ben Webster describe an approach to addressing this issue utilizing participatory design to develop a higher education program for Syrian refugees in the Middle East.
