CITIES AND FOUNDATIONS:
WORKING TOGETHER TOWARDS INCLUSIVE EDUCATION FOR REFUGEES

EUROCITIES organises on 18 September 2017 from 11:00 to 16:30 an expert meeting focused on city-foundation collaboration in the field of education for refugees and asylum seekers. This event will be hosted by the European Foundation Centre in the Philanthropy House in Brussels.

The event, organised in the framework of the Solidarity Cities Initiative and with the support of the Open Society Education Support Program, will be attended by experts from Think Tanks, European Commission services, European Parliament, NGOS, Foundations and Philanthropies and Representatives of cities members of EUROCITIES.

It will aim at taking stock of existing initiatives and at exploring possible steps forward to maximise the impact of common work between foundations and cities, through knowledge exchange and transfer of expertise. It will also create vital links between foundations and cities with the hope of seeing examples of city-foundation collaborations in the field of education flourish across Europe.
