Arqus Alliance and the European Training and Research Centre for Human Rights and Democracy at the University of Graz organises a screening of the film “Refugee Girls” on Wednesday, 7 May (17:00 CEST).
This event is part of the bottom-up initiative “Arqus: an Alliance supporting refugees’ right to a qualified and unique study experience”, which aims to organise a day of reflection on refugee students at each partner university.
Next week at the University of Graz, project manager Elisa Gamba and film director Leonardo Cinieri Lombroso will present the documentary film “Refugee Girls”, which deals with the experiences of refugee students at European universities and tells two parallel stories: an Afghan student at Sapienza University of Rome, and two Ukrainian girls at the University of Barcelona.
Before the film screening, Professor Gerd Oberleitner, Director of the European Training and Research Centre for Human Rights and Democracy (UNI-ETC) and UNESCO Chair in Human Rights and Human Security, will open the event with a welcome speech, which will be followed by an introduction to the topic by Elisa Gamba. After the screening, a discussion will be held with the film director and Dr. Lisa Heschl from the UNI-ETC, who leads the project “Promoting academic freedom in Ukraine”. The event will be concluded with snacks and drinks.
