Juliette Baccou, Schooling of refugees in Athens: frameworks, challenges, and concrete experiences at a glance

Juliette Baccou (master’s student at the Institut Convergences Migrations, Campus Condorcet-CNRS) gathered testimonies and consulted archives relating to Volare’s Greek colleagues, as well as the educational and political networks that contributed to establishing refugee reception systems and recognizing the right of migrant children to education. She also co-coordinated the visit of Alexandra Androusou for a series of interviews in April 2024. From all of this, she offers a remarkable synthesis of the current Greek landscape—a meticulous introduction to the challenges and experiences connected to the testimonies collected by the Greek team of Volare. She is the French voice who, on behalf of the French team, pays tribute to the Greek friends who worked to preserve a bit of our continent’s dignity by welcoming, with humanity, a part of humanity that many would rather ignore.
