In March 2017, the first European Qualifications Passports for Refugees were issued in Athens.  This certificate will help refugees, who had to flee their countries, to continue with their studies or work. Nineteen candidate refugees went through individual interviews with experienced evaluators to ascertain their qualifications, for which supporting documentation is often missing. Fourteen were issued the European Qualifications Passport. For example Anwar, who left Syria with her husband and two young children, hopes to resettle, from the refugee camp in Athens, to another European country where she has family, as part of the EU resettlement programme. With a Bachelor’s Degree in Physiotherapy from Al-Baath University, her professional goal is to work with the elderly. Such a certificate should help her to work in this field and thereby, amongst other things, make a meaningful contribution to her new community. This initiative is a pilot project run by the Council of Europe’s Education Department in the framework of the Action Plan Building Inclusive Societies. Partners include the Greek Ministry of Education, Research and Religious Affairs and qualification recognition centres in Greece, Italy, Norway and the United Kingdom.  The UNHCR Office in Greece also supports the project.
