Migration in the Mediterranean

The Central Mediterranean Sea region has claimed the lives of countless people seeking a better life, opportunities and prosperity beyond its borders. Regarded as the largest cemetery in the world, the Mediterranean Sea is becoming an underwater cemetery where boats struggle to stay afloat, even in another, even more dangerous sea of racism and misunderstanding.

It is there, in this social sea, that education is essential and where the work of rescue organisations such as Open Arms can also, out of the water, to prevent the exodus of those seeking a better life.

Since it was founded in 2015, Open Arms has rescued nearly 70,000 people, so today we are delighted to invite Ángeles Schjaer, coordinator of the Education Department at Open Arms to EDTECH Generation. We will follow the journey of someone who is on this journey and we will learn about her approach on how education can be the driving force behind social change. Now, yes, we are embarking on a new phase of Generation EdTech.
