Share HERCoN Webinar: Enhancing the Integration of Students in Complementary Education Pathways through Community Sponsorship
Complementary education pathways provide crucial opportunities for displaced students to access higher education, supporting their academic development, social integration, and future employment prospects. However, ensuring successful integration within new educational and community environments remains a challenge.
Community sponsorship has emerged as a powerful approach to overcoming these barriers by mobilising universities and local communities to offer practical support and foster inclusive environments.
This webinar, organised by ICMC Europe and the Share Network through the Erasmus+ Share HERCoN (Higher Education for Refugees Cooperation Network) project, will explore how community sponsorship can enhance education pathways for displaced students.
What to Expect:
✔ Insights into successful community sponsorship models from across Europe
✔ First-hand experiences from displaced students and organisations working in this field
✔ Practical strategies for developing sponsorship and integration initiatives
✔ An opportunity to engage with members of the Share HERCoN Community of Practice
📅 Date: 10 April 2025
⏰ Time: 10:30 – 12:30 (CET)
We hope you will join us for this discussion!

Workshop for Refugees: Refugee Advisor Programme
As part of its Refugee Sponsorship Mobilization Platform activities, the Share Network is working on setting up a Refugee Advisor Programme for Community Sponsorship to ensure refugee participation throughout the Share 2022-2023 community sponsorship programme. The goal of this preliminary workshop is to put into place a dynamic of co-creation by offering a space where refugees can speak freely and express how refugee participation can support feedback on policy, advocacy, or local inclusion in addition to other areas to be further defined. The workshop will provide a meaningful opportunity for attendees to co-design and give feedback on potential features of the advisor programme.
