ETUCE MOOC ‘Education Trade Unions for Refugees and Migrants’
Published:
The course is part of the ETU4REF project, run by ETUCE and co-funded by the European Commission. It is coordinated by the Global Campus of Human Rights and is targeted at education trade unions and their affiliates. It is taught by academics and equality and migration experts from education trade unions, as well as features personal stories of migrants and refugee education personnel.
Aims
Building on the findings and outcomes delivered throughout the ETUCE project ETU4REF, this MOOC aims to build the capacity and knowledge of education trade unions to provide specific support to their affiliates regarding the inclusion of refugees and migrants in the education system with the view to contributing to long-term solutions both regarding the education of refugee and migrant students and the inclusion of refugee and migrant education personnel in the education systems of the host countries. It also seeks to promote concrete measures and practices of education trade unions in addressing the challenges that education personnel face regarding the inclusion of refugee and migrant learners in the education systems, including in the context of trade union renewal and attractiveness of the teaching profession.
