Institutions in Antwerp have responded by drawing on their core business and providing refugees with dynamic access to higher education by creating the Antwerp Short Course. Our poster shows how this eight-week course, developed in collaboration with the local integration service Atlas, included language training and social activities at four institutions in the city.
