"Mr President, I would like to thank my colleague, Brando Benifei, for his work as rapporteur, and Silvia Costa for coordinating the opinion of the Committee on Culture and Education.
Education is the key to both economic and social inclusion of refugees and asylum seekers, in particular young people, and that is why the Committee on Culture has put forward the notion of education corridors, and why it calls for further supporting the cooperation between EU universities and universities in places of conflict to ensure that children and young people who have to flee their country can pursue their education, which is a human right. It is not only important for welcoming countries, who will benefit from the economic contribution of educated newcomers, but it is also a moral and human duty for European societies to guarantee that these young people have the opportunity of a brighter future.
I also want to highlight the role of informal learning, including lifelong learning, sport, volunteering, culture and the arts, which – by providing spaces for intercultural dialogue and exchange – not only facilitate the social inclusion of refugees into their new communities, but also address stereotypes, prejudices and discrimination by the majority.
Too often, the dominant narrative says that somebody else is always to blame for the world’s problems. This results in a culture of fear. But when people come together and talk honestly and share in each other’s culture they learn that we are all human beings with common aspirations and concerns."@en1
