From Camps to Schools: The Participation of Refugee Children in Greek Public Education

Based on an ethnographic fieldwork in Greece,, this study focuses on the government’s attempt to provide education for children living in Athens’s refugee camps, as well as the actors involved in this effort, interrogating the problematic phenomena and interconnectedness of crisis, hospitality, and solidarity. This article argues that refugee education cannot be understood solely on economic or political terms but needs to be situated into a broader cultural context, as well.
