Narratives are an essential feature of human nature as they define our identities, values, and worldviews. They are self-reflexive mechanisms creating a sense of internal order and security when dealing with overwhelming global experiences of mobility, dislocation and exile. This special event focuses on professional narratives from the field of Refugee Education (RE) in Greece. Particular attention will be given on professional narration and experiences draw from social workers, lawyers, doctors, educators and volunteers working with refugee children in Greece particularly after 2015 when more than 1 million refugees crossed the country. Professionals discussed the following questions:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Where do they see themselves in talking RE challenges?<\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\">What are the required types of responsibilities\/skills in the RE field?<\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\">What are their main accomplishments?<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In addition, 3 refugees students were invited to tell us about themselves and their dislocations in searching for a new Home. These cultural narratives will unfold the challenges of dislocation, the trauma, but also the promise of a future new life.<\/p>\n<h4 style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><strong>Event Schedule<\/strong><\/h4>\n<table width=\"618\">\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td><strong>Time<\/strong><\/td>\n<td width=\"504\"><strong>19 June 2018<\/strong><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>14:00<\/td>\n<td width=\"504\">Pick-up from Athens- University of Athens \u00e2\u20ac\u201c Panepistimiou 30<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>16:00<\/td>\n<td width=\"504\">Arrival in NafplioPark Hotel <a href=\"http:\/\/www.parknafplio.gr\/el\/contact\">http:\/\/www.parknafplio.gr\/el\/contact<\/a><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>17:30 &#8211; 19:15<\/td>\n<td width=\"504\">\u00ce\u00a4our in Palamidi (optional <a href=\"http:\/\/www.nafplio.gr\/en\/arxaiologikoixoroiseimiamenu2\/62-2011-03-20-10-43-36.html\">http:\/\/www.nafplio.gr\/en\/arxaiologikoixoroiseimiamenu2\/62-2011-03-20-10-43-36.html<\/a> )<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>19.45-20.10<\/td>\n<td width=\"504\">Refreshments<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Forum Opening, Dr Eugenia Arvanitis, University of Patras<\/li>\n<li>Official Address by European Commissioner of for Migration, Home Affairs &amp; Citizenship, Mr Dimitris Avramopoulos (televised message)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>20:10 &#8211; 21:00<\/td>\n<td width=\"504\">\u00c2\u00b7\u00c2\u00a0\u00c2\u00a0\u00c2\u00a0\u00c2\u00a0\u00c2\u00a0\u00c2\u00a0 <em>The concept of the Xenos: Select examples from Greek antiquity and beyond<\/em>, Professor Ioannis Petropoulos, Center for Hellenic Studies in Greece, Harvard University.\u00c2\u00b7\u00c2\u00a0\u00c2\u00a0\u00c2\u00a0\u00c2\u00a0\u00c2\u00a0\u00c2\u00a0 <em>Reconceptualizing Culture, Identity, Family and &#8220;Othering&#8221; in Refugee Contexts, <\/em>Professor Bahira Trask, Department of Human Development and Family Sciences, University of Delaware<\/p>\n<p>\u00c2\u00b7\u00c2\u00a0\u00c2\u00a0\u00c2\u00a0\u00c2\u00a0\u00c2\u00a0\u00c2\u00a0 <em>The Unesco Chair at the University of Nicosia and its Role in Promoting Intercultural Dialogue and a Culture of Peace in Cyprus and Beyond,<\/em> Dr Emilios A Solomou, UNESCO Chair, University of Nicosia, Cyprus.<\/p>\n<p>Discussant: Eugenia Arvanitis, University of Patras<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>21:15<\/td>\n<td width=\"504\">Mediterranean dinner<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<h3><\/h3>\n<table width=\"618\">\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td width=\"114\"><strong>Time<\/strong><\/td>\n<td width=\"504\"><strong>20 June<\/strong><strong> 2019<\/strong><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td width=\"114\">8:00 &#8211; 10:00<\/td>\n<td width=\"504\">Guided Tour in the old city of Nafplion and the &#8220;V.

Hence the name of Vouleyftiko, which is known until today. Originally, the building was built as a mosque consisting of a large hall and a massive dome (1730) and it was known as the mosque of Aga-pasha. The building were used for several purposes: it housed the Greek School, it was prison (the ground floor), and here took place the Trial of the Captains of the Greek Revolution (Th. Kolokotronis and D. Plapoutas). Today, Vouleytiko is a place of culture under the auspices of the Ministry of Culture.<\/p>\n<h4 style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u00c2\u00a0<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-359 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/wpnet.upatras.gr\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/270\/2018\/01\/Vouleutiko1.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"541\" height=\"404\" srcset=\"https:\/\/intercultural.upatras.gr\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/270\/2018\/01\/Vouleutiko1.jpg 670w, https:\/\/intercultural.upatras.gr\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/270\/2018\/01\/Vouleutiko1-300x224.jpg 300w, https:\/\/intercultural.upatras.gr\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/270\/2018\/01\/Vouleutiko1-360x270.jpg 360w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 541px) 100vw, 541px\" \/><\/h4>\n<h3 style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Event Information<\/h3>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><b><strong>Event Organizer:<\/strong><\/b>\u00c2\u00a0University of Patras<br \/>\n<b><strong>Event Location:<\/strong><\/b>\u00c2\u00a0Nafplio, Greece<br \/>\n<b><strong>Event Dates:<\/strong><\/b>\u00c2\u00a019-20 June 2018<br \/>\n<b><strong>Event Cost:<\/strong><\/b>\u00c2\u00a0100.00 USD<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><b><strong>Booking:\u00c2\u00a0<\/strong><\/b>You may register for the tour\u00c2\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/thelearner.com\/2018-conference\/registration\">upon registration<\/a>.
