Noting that:
Europe is challenged to integrate hundreds of thousands of refugees in the european society in the next decade.
Considering that:
Cooperation between all parts of society is absolutely necessary for complete integration of refugees. In particular, this includes colleges and universities.
The European liberal youth:
therefore calls for the national governments of the EU-Members to get
refugees access to special language courses. At the very least, colleges and universities should provide rooms and equipment to voluntary language teachers
calls for Europe’s colleges and universities to give ECTS-points to students pursuing a Certificate in Education or in their national language for teaching their national language to refugees. With these opportunities and the realization of such language courses, students will gain more practical experience.
furthermore calls for Europe’s colleges and universities to ensure, that regular students still get a sufficient access to language courses without any disadvantages due to the support provided to refugees.
