Project Summary

Ci-RES is a national structural project which aims at building institutional capacities for integrating refugees into higher education. As the number of refugees is increasing every year, Algeria has become in recent years a land of immigration and refuge. In the year 2019, Algerian universities registered more than 5,000 refugee students on average. In order to face this situation of crisis, it has become urgent to take charge of this vulnerable category, which shows a disadvantageous situation due to the absence of clear national regulations in favor of their integration into higher education in Algeria. The project Ci-RES, therefore proposes both regulatory and operational measures for the improvement of university services at the level of the partner universities as well as the at the level of the Ministry in order to ensure support at the educational, psychological, social and professional level. Distance training and face-to-face training are provided to the three target groups of the project, academic and administrative staff as well as refugees, through theoretical courses and other practices on the legal, academic and administrative aspects. Training in the Arabic and French languages will also support the social integration of refugees into university life. Practical workshops are scheduled and will enable the 3 target groups to express their needs and frustrations and to propose concrete solutions through open doors on employment and intercultural dialogue activities. Civil society members, NGOs, journalists and the ministry will be involved in these outreach activities. In the end, concrete measures of integration will be proposed through the creation of an office at the level of the vice-rectorates in charge of the external relations of the universities, a practical guide and an internal regulation will also be dedicated to the integration of the refugees in the university.
