The Global Higher Education Alliance for the 21st Century (GHEA21) Hubs for Connected Learning Initiatives (Hubs) are co-led by Bard College and BRAC University’s Center for Peace and Justice. The Hubs deliver learner-centered, contextualized programming that is innovative in its use of technology to support participants in low-resource settings and builds local capacity to support implementation. The Hubs currently operate in Eastern Africa, the MENA region, and South Asia.
What We Do
-
The Hubs Capacity Building works to develop programs such as Facilitator Training, a program that empowers Refugees into educational leaders; Researcher Training, a collaboration project with the Rift Valley Institute (RVI) that prepares Refugees with research skills; and Refugee-led Organizations (RLO's) Capacity Building, a training process in which the Hubs works with those running the RLO's in all of its facets of program implementation,
-
Higher education offerings in the form of a university preparatory program and interdisciplinary course clusters that result in transferable credits accumulation, official transcripts, and GHEA21 certificates of completion for students who have been unable to access a bachelor’s degree.
-
A refugee- and host community-led research hub to support local training in qualitative and quantitative approaches and to develop locally-situated research. Research supports the Hubs’ wider advocacy efforts by raising awareness of the barriers and challenges that refugees face.
