Aiming to offer a quality non-formal education programme to children, refugees and migrants, ELIX was invited to respond to the new conditions that formed in Lesvos after the catastrophic fires in Moria.

With the valuable support of UNICEF, with which we have been working together since 2016, a team of educators and supportive staff settled in Mytilene and started creating classes in the new temporary Reception and Identification Center.

Respect for Human Rights should Prevail over Use of Force. Following yesterday's fire in Moria, on Lesvos, which destroyed the Reception and Identification Centre, 31 civil society organizations call on the Greek Government to immediately provide assistance to people who lost their shelter.

Athens, 4 September 2020: The first COVID-19 case was identified earlier last week in Moria, spiraling concerns about the health and safety of the overcrowded Reception Center’s population. According to media reportsⁱ, the 40-year old refugee left Lesvos on 17 July, after being requested to exit the Center, and as per his right to move went to Athens.

This collection of poems was created by children, refugees and migrants, as part of the project "Learning for Integration: Quality learning and non-formal education for refugees and migrants, children and adults, in Greece (LIP)", implemented by ELIX with the support of UNICEF, the International Organization of Migration and the European Commission.

World Refugee Day today and ELIX honors the millions of people that have been displaced by the home countries looking for a better future.

Such as Nila who has first visited ELIX in January 2018. Arriving at 14 years old, with no knowledge of Greek, but speaking some English, she began attending our classes daily.
