I do not think this ‘catchphrase’ portrays the responsibility, values and  \nsolidarity that it should actually carry. Instead, the words refugee crisis has become a symbol of divisions:  \nclosed borders on one side, and thousands of local solidarity initiatives refusing to accept this narrative  \non the other side. We should build a new narrative, based on rights, equality, equal opportunities and  \ninclusion and not based on the fear from different cultures, religions and unfamiliar traditions. Rapid  \nincrease of migration has challenged the self-portrayal of the European identity and is questioning long  \nstanding beliefs about our own values on democracy, multiculturalism and tolerance.  \nThis is a humanitarian crisis. This crisis needs to receive proper attention and commitment for action from  \nthe governments, social partners and societies across Europe. Education is a human right. It is a driving  \nforce for social mobility, societal development and integration. Any person with the desire to learn should  \nbe granted the opportunity to do so. Thus, we should open our education institutions to anyone fleeing  \na situation of conflict, war, terror, hunger, and violations of human rights.
