Sponsors & Partners

Sponsors

CIEE is pleased to collaborate once again with our sponsor and content partner, UNHCR, the UN Refugee Agency, to call on student leaders from across the globe to present their solution ideas to support increasing access to higher education and livelihood for forcibly displaced youth around the world. Participating students will gain a deeper understanding of the challenges facing refugees and forcibly displaced populations. The winning team will have the opportunity to have their idea be selected to be shared with UNHCR and their networks.

About UNHCR

UNHCR, the UN Refugee Agency, is a global organization dedicated to saving lives, protecting rights, and building a better future for refugees, forcibly displaced communities, and stateless people.
