✨From dream to reality! 🎓 “Yes, life is full of darkness and difficulties, but education is the light that can transform the world,” says Kyaw Htet, a Learning Facilitator graduate in Taunggyi, Myanmar.

“If you love your community, change it through education. Learn to lead and learn to serve.”

As Kyaw Htet progressed on his journey as a learning facilitator, he realised that he needed to develop his skills in order to be more effective – and so he enrolled in the Learning Facilitator programme.

This experience helped him uncover his talent, grow in confidence, and connected him with a global community of learners. It gave him energy and reminded him that “education challenges are global, but determination is universal.”

As Jesuit Worldwide Learning marks ten years of expanding access to higher education for refugees and displaced people, we brought this decade of experience to Rome for the ‘Voices in Action: Transformative Collaboration and Educational Solidarity with Refugees & Migrants’ conference at the Pontifical Urbaniana University (30 September-2 October 2026), contributing through leadership, collaboration, student refugee voices, and research.

The conference provided an opportunity not only to reflect on what has been built over the past decade, but also to explore how these experiences can inform more inclusive, participatory and sustainable approaches to education for refugees and migrants.

It provided a space to recognise and celebrate the partnerships and collaboration that made this journey possible but also to look forward, searching for opportunities to strengthen and establish new ones, to make higher education possible for many more displaced persons.

✨From dream to reality! 🎓 “For us, studying means continuing the fight for our rights to life and freedom, and the quest to maintain our identity,” says Laura, a graduate of the Ecotourism programme.

Laura is a member of the Waorani Indigenous community and lives in Dikaro, a village in Yasuní National Park (Ecuadorian Amazon) – one of the most biologically diverse places on Earth. She and fellow young women in Dikaro are working to maintain and raise awareness of their culture and traditions, as well as defend their rights and environment. Laura has been elected as one of the Community Leaders.

✨From dream to reality! 🎓 “If you could maybe rewind time back maybe a decade ago, or maybe two decades ago, access to higher education was almost impossible for many refugees,” says Isaac, a graduate of the BA in Sustainable Development programme in Kakuma Refugee Camp, Kenya. “But JWL came in with a blended learning system where refugees could study higher education within the camp – and that has been the biggest change.”

Through these studies, Isaac gained knowledge, grew confident about his potential, connected with a global network of learners and mentors, and developed a sense of responsibility. He activitely advocates for refugee access to quality education through a range of initiatives and is currently undertaking an MSc in Human Rights and Humanitarian Action at Sciences Po, Paris.

✨ Higher education for the excluded is not a dream – it’s a reality! 🎓

🎉 Today, we celebrate a decade of:

✅ turning dreams into reality through impactful higher education.

✅ higher education for those who once thought they could only dream of it.

✅ higher education in places once considered unreachable.

✅ higher education which inspires solutions and action for peace, human dignity, and our common home.

Over the past decade, Jesuit Worldwide Learning has brought together universities, international and local partners, and learners themselves, to provide marginalised youth with accredited, blended learning higher education programmes.

Since 2016, the dream of higher education has become a reality for close to 50,000 learners in excluded and crisis-affected communities across 50 countries.

Thank you to all of our supporters who joined us on this journey! 🙌 This would not have been possible without you!

We celebrate and reflect upon the achievements of the past ten years, but the journey doesn’t end here...

🕊“Peace to us and young people in our community is not just about not fighting. It’s about how people treat each other, how voices are heard, and how justice is served,” says Angélique, a Certificate in Liberal Studies student in Dzaleka Refugee Camp.

On Peace Day, Angélique highlights the importance of education and shares different ways in which young people can foster peace in their communities.

📣“I would like to remind young people that our voices matter, and even a small act of kindness can help a huge amount of people.”

🕊On International Day of Peace, Lana shares insights into her journey as a peace leader.

🗨“Because of our geographical area and our situation and political issues, we as Kurdish people have rarely experienced lasting peace. So I was really interested in knowing what is making peace,” shared Lana, a Peace Leader graduate in Sulaymaniyah, Kurdistan Region of Iraq.

In Sulaymaniyah, opportunities to study peace and conflict academically are limited. Through the Peace Leader programme, Lana came to realisations which changed how she perceives conflict and gained insights which influenced both her personal and professional life.

Lana is now a Peace Leader programme Onsite Facilitator, and involved in a number of peace initiatives and peace-building projects.

“One thing that I truly believe in, is that growth begins when we continue learning. So no matter where we are, no matter how old we are, we should always try to learn new things and discover new things.”
