"Anyone can be a refugee. We are all subject to that. The legal system, the international community, should be prepared for that. We all have this responsibility."

The refugee crises in Greece, as well as the one in the US, are very conflicting to me. Human rights concepts conflict with nationalism and globalization. Who is responsible for assisting those fleeing, seeking for safety? For better life opportunities? Should country boarders determine its responsibilities in welcoming and helping these people?

The citizenship concept for refugees can also be conflicting at challenging times. The definition of citizenship is the position or status of being a citizen of a particular country. How do you feel connected, though, to a country that took away your home or your family? That didn't protect your human rights? Our aware global world, with a Universal Declaration of Human Rights, pushes us to reconsider the definition of the citizenship concept. Where do our commonalities start or end? Don't we all share the same humanity?

Greece has a history of close immigration policies but has been doing a remarkable job welcoming and assisting the flow of refugees that arrive every day. Throughout these readings, I learned about efforts and accommodations that they have been implementing and adjusting to better support these groups, especially if you consider their current economic situation.

Ensuring access to education for these refugees and migrant children is one of Greek's main concerns and challenges. At the end of 2016, a special education programme was launched in certain public schools to serve this population, seeking to facilitate their integration into the educational process. Greece's effort in making schools available to this population - even those that are in Greece for a transitional time - provides children more opportunities to integrate that community. All that while making sure they can continue their education path.
