3. New York Declaration
for Refugees and Migrants
Since earliest times, humanity has been on the move. Some people move in
search of new economic opportunities and horizons. Others move to escape
armed conflict, poverty, food insecurity, persecution, terrorism, or human
rights violations and abuses (I)
Large movements of refugees and migrants have political, economic, social,
developmental, humanitarian and human rights ramifications, which cross all
borders. These are global phenomena that call for global approaches and
global solutions (VII)

4. “Refugees have skills, ideas, hopes and dreams…
They are also tough, resilient and creative, with the energy and drive to
shape their own destinies, given the chance.”
UN High Commissioner for Refugees Filippo Grandi

When I was a student, the wars I read about in history books always had
a winner and a loser. But no one is winning the wars of today.
António Guterres, 2014

6. We live in the age of the refugee,
the age of the exile.
Ariel Dorfman

7. Open Data analysis
can uncover
socio-cultural and power dynamics
Open Data [can be] basis for
research-based learning activities
that can contribute to the development of
students’ transversal skills
and field-specific competences
Atenas & Havemann (2015)

9. All those educational experiences promoting
transformation and empowerment
Zembylas, 2013
Pedagogy is not about training,
it is about critically educating people to be self reflective,
capable of critically address their relationship
with others and with the larger world.
Pedagogy in this sense provides not only important critical
and intellectual competencies;
it also enables people to intervene critically in the world.
Henry Giroux

12. Open Data represent a window on
contemporary World issues

13. No pedagogy which is truly
liberating can remain distant
from the oppressed by treating
them as unfortunates and by
presenting for their emulation
models from among the
oppressors.
The oppressed must be their
own example in the struggle for
their redemption.
Freire, 1970
