In the context of the #JoinTogether Network Conference that took place on January 7th at the UN headquarters, Rector Garito presented the model of “University for Refugees”. “Universities – Garito affirms – have always been true instruments of peace and respect for differences, a melting pot of international identities, as well as authors of the most creative chapters in history. Thanks to its history, UNINETTUNO has created the University for Refugees, developing a large workshop for a real inclusion, to improve good immigration and intercultural dialogue “.
