It’s been a month since we celebrated the 1-year anniversary of our shorter route to ILR campaign win!
We also released a short film for our current #OutOfTheLoop campaign for a more affordable route to ILR.

What does access to higher education mean to you?

A butterfly emerging from a cocoon 🦋
A lion roaming through the jungle 🦁
A light at the end of the tunnel 💡

This week STAR's #EqualAccess Activists got creative in a #research workshop with @A26project.

[STAR | Student Action for Refugees @STARnational]

There are now more than 27 million refugees worldwide, but just 5% have access to higher education.

Only 3% of refugees get to university - and HEIs play such an important role in changing that. Proud of my fab colleagues Katie and Dan for outlining concrete steps to be taken at the #unesco #WHEC2022. And massive shout out to @Olive_UEL for being such a great example of this!

UK Immigration Minister @kevin_j_foster has released a written statement confirming a 5 year route to settlement for young people who are #Britishinallbutpaperwork!

This is transformative for our young people and we look forward to seeing the route in immigration rules soon.

[Birmingham University of Sanctuary @UoB_Sanctuary]

We’re so inspired by local schools who are creating a culture of sanctuary for students! We’re working hard @unibirmingham with our partners @EUni_Well @UniofSanctuary @A26project @RefugeeEdUK to make the transition to university as smooth as possible for those seeking sanctuary.

[We Belong @WeBelong19]

We are proud to add a major campaign win - the replacement of the 10 year route to settlement with a 5 year route for integrated young people who came to the UK as children - to our list of organisational successes on our website. Read the full list here!

Two years of demonstrating the power of youth led work, and the value of lived experience 👏

We Belong is fighting for a future where young migrants living in the U.K. are treated equally and fairly in the society they call home. Are you with us? #youthled #YouthEmpowerment

Our suite of activities for #COP26 encourages pupils to care for the environment and develop language skills at the same time. Let us know if your school intends to join in, for all of them or just one or two! @MichaelRosenYes @RobGMacfarlane @JackieMorrisArt @FirstNews_Teach
