Welcoming Communities

October 5, 2024

Student initiatives and refugee leadership on campus.

 

Around Mexico, the Welcoming Communities program seeks to create safe, inclusive and intercultural host communities and advocate for the rights of migrants and asylum seekers. Through an allied university network and local student communities, USCRI Mexico builds youth and refugee-led leadership on migration issues, empowering both refugees and their host communities to create more welcoming environments and foster inclusion. Thanks to these spaces, we are better positioned to advocate for the needs of displaced individuals to policymakers and implementers.
Through student-led committees around the country, local students provide a key link between Habesha Project beneficiaries and universities, fostering interculturalism and integration, engaging in advocacy, and promoting inclusive campuses. The committees facilitate events to support refugee students and raise awareness on migration in collaboration with various organizations. These initiatives highlight cultural diversity and solidarity, transforming campuses into welcoming spaces for mutual learning.
