What We Do

The Hubs for Connected Learning Initiatives encompass three interwoven programs:

  • Community-Led Research

    A refugee- and host community–led research hub to support local training in qualitative and quantitative approaches and to develop locally-situated research. Research supports the Hubs’ wider advocacy efforts by raising awareness of the barriers and challenges that refugees face, as well as the Hubs’ continuous reflection on and adaptation to camp- and urban-based needs.

  • Teacher Professional Development

    Professional development for in-service teachers working with displaced individuals and those in marginalized host communities—including refugee camp settings— that builds out teacher mentoring and classroom action research opportunities.

  • Undergraduate Opportunities

    Higher education offerings in the form of a university preparatory program and interdisciplinary course clusters that result in accumulation of transferable credits, official transcripts, and OSUN certificates of completion for students who have been unable to access a bachelor’s degree.
