​Today, Hassan Aden has defended his PhD thesis at the School of Global Studies, University of Gothenburg.

​Education in situations of conflict and crisis is central in efforts to protect children and youth in the near-term and fostering peaceful coexistence over the longer-term.

​Over four sessions in October, 20 academics and practitioners from around the world met virtually to discuss the question of how education can enable refugee individuals and communities to build durable futures whenthere is great uncertainty about where these futures will be? Recognizing theprotracted nature of refugee situations, the latest UNHCR education strategyprioritizes the integration of refugees into the national education systems ofhost countries.

​This academic workshop focuses on education of refugee children and children living in protracted conflict within and beyond the national frame.
