GIZ – Invitation to an Expert Meeting in Berlin

GIZ Berlin Representation, (GIZ-Haus), Reichpietschufer 20, 10785 Berlin

Expert Meeting in Berlin

The Deutsche Gesellschaft für Internationale Zusammenarbeit (GIZ) GmbH is inviting You to an exchange of experiences to develop a concept on “studying as a refugee” for Universities in Jordan.

Since the outbreak of the civil war in Syria in 2011,
around 4.8 million people have fled the country to escape
violence and destruction. Most have found refuge in neighbouring
countries. According to the United Nations High
Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR), Jordan had officially
registered more than 655,000 Syrian refugees by mid-2016.
Many of them are young adults who hope for a brighter
future. They want to access higher education but face obstacles
to studying in Jordan, including their financial situation,
residence status, poor foreign language skills and lack of
documents. Without prospects, and having been through
often traumatic experiences, many refugees see no way out
of their situation.

More information on the schedule and the guests of the GIZ Expert Meeting is available on the letter of invitation.
