coLAB is thrilled to invite you to its Closing Event. The implementing partners of the projects are going to present the key recommendations learnt from this experience. Afterwards, the Council of Europe and the European Union are going to award certificates to the participants and give them the floor.

coLAB, a collaboration between five higher education institutions in Europe, is born from the observation that many refugees bring with them substantial professional experience and qualifications. Unfortunately, their prior achievements may not be recognised by their new host communities. The coLAB project, implemented within the framework of the European Union/Council of Europe joint programme "Democratic and Inclusive School Culture in Operation" (DISCO),aims to remedy this by hiring refugees as “visiting experts” who can share their knowledge with students and teaching staff, within the frame of the academic curriculum.
