With faculty, staff, and students from 16 GHEA21 (formerly OSUN) institutions participating, the Summit focused on four key areas: building global student leadership in advocating for changes for those affected by displacement; launching GHEA21 student voices for refugees; academic panels; and launching a cultural heritage project in Kakuma/Dadaab.
The Summit is part of GHEA21's broader commitment to raising awareness and opening access to higher education and research opportunities for those affected by displacement, in the lead up to the second UNHCR's Global Refugee Forum in December 2023 in Geneva. There, GHEA21 convened a key panel on the power of networks to achieve change in the refugee education landscape and will serve as the co-lead on the 15 by 2030 Multistakeholder Pledge, alongside UNHCR, the Government of Germany, and Times Higher Education.
