[ITA]
The Manifesto on an Inclusive University focuses on the condition of young beneficiaries of international and temporary protection who intend to continue their studies and research activity in the country of asylum, and stems from the awareness that the cultural, technical, and intellectual experiences gained by refugees in various parts of the world can be a great resource for Italy.
Facilitate refugees’ access to higher education and research, promote social integration and active participation in academic life.

UNHCR DATA
Education cannot be taken for granted
Schools and universities offer an important opportunity for young people fleeing violence and persecution, representing a fundamental step along their path of personal and professional fulfillment and social inclusion. Only 5% of refugees, according to UNHCR estimates, have access to higher education compared to an average of 38% globally.
By 2030, UNHCR aims to achieve an enrollment rate of 15% in higher education programmes for refugees in host countries and third countries, including through the expansion of complementary pathways such as UNICORE, while taking into account the specific needs and legitimate aspirations of refugees to build their future in dignity.
