About the project
The JeS Project (Joint Stories: Journeys from Fear to Fair) addresses the social responsibility of the higher education institutions to promote human rights and the awareness of the urgent European challenges of trafficking in humans, forced labour, undocumented migrants and the need for fair trade policies by giving space in their curricula to the voices of those individuals within the EU whose stories are often not included in the main social narrative and who often suffer silently.
JeS focuses on co-creating an innovative and open online learning environment that brings together from different parts of Europe higher education institutions and NGOs, teachers, educators, students and migrants for shared learning, educational events, and workshops. These activities promote dialogue and intercultural encounters and make the above-mentioned human rights situations in Europe visible and more tangible and included in higher education and other educational activities.
