The European Qualifications Passport for Refugees is a document providing an assessment of the higher education qualifications based on available documentation and a structured interview. It also presents information on the applicant’s work experience and language proficiency. The document provides reliable information for integration and progression towards employment and admission to further studies of refugees.
It is a specially developed assessment scheme for refugees, even for those who cannot fully document their qualifications.
The event begins at 10:00 and is open to media. Interested media representatives should register by sending an e-mail to [email protected] no later than 14:00 on 13 September.
