A concrete solution for the integration of refugees and asylum seekers
At Wintegreat, we act for the social, professional and academic integration of refugees and asylum seekers. We are convinced that a society where everyone can find their place and express their full potential is possible.
This is why we offer full, free and certifying programs in prestigious universities and “Grande Ecoles” in France – Sciences Po Paris, ESCP Europe, ESSEC and ICP. These programs are focused on two main axes:
Although we were a group of only six students we managed to host 7 refugee students at ESCP Europe in September 2015. We were confronted with the horrifying situation of those people who went through the worst and their struggle for getting back a normal life in a society full of barriers. We learned how to know them better and understand their needs so we could find accurate solutions in order to help them continue their career and studies. Even though places to host them existed no solution had ever been offered to them in order to face the obstacles to their success and true integration.
This is why we created an integration program especially built for them in universities and Grandes Ecoles. Of course, it includes French classes as learning French is essential, but it also aims atoffering them a background and giving them insights into a new country where doors are open for them!
In September 2016, we want to open those programs in 4 universities and business schools: ESCP Europe, ICP, Sciences Po and ESSEC, in order to multiply our social impact and help more people.
We have chosen to develop those programs in Grandes Ecoles and universities in order to:
Students are rewarded with a certificate at the end of the semester or order to confirm their achievements and make it easier for them to continue their education or find a job.
The Wintegreat Integration Program includes:
