Who we are
OVERVIEW
InZone is a programme of the University of Geneva and pioneers innovative approaches to higher education in communities affected by conflict and humanitarian crisis, with the ultimate goal of empowering people on the move stranded in transit countries. InZone gives special attention to refugees/asylum seekers stranded in fragile states but at the same time fosters an inclusive approach including people on the move more broadly as well as vulnerable host communities.
OBJECTIVES
Design, develop and validate innovative higher education models with equitable and reliable access for learners in fragile contexts.
Form and reinforce partnerships with local universities, in a joint effort to build capacity on the ground and build back better.
Further develop partnerships with other stakeholders (UN family, European institutions, NGOs and the private sector) to expand higher education programs.
Build higher education spaces in fragile contexts, which offer an environment for the expression of intellectual and cultural diversity, essential ingredients of peace-building and new forms of governance.
