This World Refugee Day, we're launching something that places lived experience at the centre.

Coming June 20.

[Refugee Education Council @RECforLearning]

Some forms of knowledge are easy to measure.

Others are lived.

For refugee and displaced youth, education is not only about schools, classrooms, or enrollment rates. It is also about adaptation, identity, belonging, hope, and rebuilding a future.
@CanadaDev @EduCannotWait

[Refugee Education Council @RECforLearning]

Yet these experiences are often missing from the conversations that shape policies, programmes, and public understanding.

The REC is participating @thewalrus Talks at Home: Education in Crisis event to discuss refugee education and the importance of youth voices in shaping education responses. @SaveChildrenCan @OxfamCanada @WarChildCan @CanadaDev @EduCannotWait

End PERIOD STIGMA. Hear directly from our own Chairperson, Louange.

@CanadaDev @Refugees

[UNHCR, the UN Refugee Agency @Refugees]

Take it from Louange: No refugee girl or woman should have to hide her period out of fear or shame.

No girl or woman should.

Without privacy, protection and dignified menstrual hygiene support, stigma can translate into real danger.

End the stigma. Period. 🔴

[The Walrus @thewalrus]

From teachers working outside traditional classrooms to local educators drawing on community history and customs, how can we guarantee that refugee children have access to an education? Find out @SaveChildrenCan, @OxfamCanada, @RECforLearning and @WarChildCan present The Walrus Talks at Home: Education in Crisis. https://t.co/yyQverDn13

[Global Partnership for Education @GPforEducation]

Despite education’s proven long term benefits, it remains underfunded.

Petra Heusser of @EiEGenevaHub explains how school closures, job losses, and reduced services are robbing children—especially refugees—of learning opportunities.

We were also proud to see refugee youth voices represented during the UN side event: “Advancing Meaningful Migrant Participation: Nothing About Us, Without Us.”

Thank you to MYCP for the partnership and for creating space for youth voices in global conversations 🤍

[Refugee Education Council @RECforLearning]

Education is more than learning — for refugee and migrant youth, it is stability, protection, inclusion, and hope for the future 🌍

REC Communications Lead participated in the International Migration Review Forum (IMRF) in New York 🇺🇳 alongside partners.

@CanadaUN @CanadaDev

[Refugee Education Council @RECforLearning]

The discussions highlighted the importance of inclusive education, collaboration, and lived experience in shaping stronger Education in Emergencies (EiE) responses.

Thank you to @RightToPlayCAN and @righttolearnorg for organizing these meaningful conversations 🤍

[Refugee Education Council @RECforLearning]

REC members joined the INEE Meet-ups in Toronto and Vancouver this month to engage with advocates, researchers, practitioners, and community leaders working to support crisis-affected and displaced learners 🌍🇨🇦

[Education Cannot Wait @EduCannotWait]

📣@EduCannotWait warmly welcomes #Germany’s €100M commitment – a powerful and sustained investment in education for children affected by conflict and crisis.

As #ECW’s top donor, 🇩🇪is helping drive real impact, expanding access to quality education for girls and boys left furthest behind.

Thank you to @BMZ_Bund for stepping up at a critical moment and to @GlblCtzn & @JohnLegend for helping spotlight the urgent need to invest in #EiE.

At a time of rising needs, this pledge sends a clear message: education must remain a priority. Because when learning continues, so does #hope.

@Refugees 👏👏👏

[Refugee Education Council @RECforLearning]

Our very own Chairperson at the REC! We are so proud of you Louange 👏👏

@CanadaDev @EduCannotWait @worldvisioncan @EiEGenevaHub @INEEtweets @GPforEducation @Refugees @GlobalEdCluster

[UNHCR, the UN Refugee Agency @Refugees]

Every semester during nursing school, Louange went back to the camp she grew up in.

She knew better than anyone what people there couldn't access. And she knew the skills she was building could start to change that.

Happy #InternationalNursesDay.
