We were honoured to host a parliamentary breakfast briefing in February, focused on safe and legal routes for refugee students.

Alongside Darren Paffey MP, we brought together parliamentarians and partners from across the sector to explore: Safe and Legal Routes – A Proposed Education Pathway for Talented Refugee Students.

We recently spent a truly fun and inspiring day with our incredible Youth Advocate team coming together to share ideas, brainstorm new approaches, and imagine how we want to grow and shape our youth-led advocacy work across the UK. From big-picture ambitions to practical next steps, the room was buzzing with energy, creativity, and insight.

Even though we are based in the UK, we’ve also been thrilled to partner with Jigsaw Education on a research project exploring how national, regional, and global approaches to including refugee teachers can be scaled to strengthen their agency and wellbeing in Chad, Uganda, and Zambia. Participation in these international projects help grow our understanding of and learning from best practice in refugee education globally.

The recent asylum announcements may have left young people and their families feeling worried about their futures in the UK.
