In a world on the move, where languages and cultures collide, the role of education in fostering integration, entrepreneurship, and mediation is more critical than ever. This book is an essential resource, offering a current and international perspective on the complex interplay between education and migration. Divided into two compelling sections, the first delves into the foundational aspects of education in the context of migration; the second section focuses on specific situations and case studies, where the entrepreneurship of migrant communities comes to life.

Contributions from international academics who work closely with migrant communities provide a deep understanding of the challenges and their mitigation. In a time when migration is consistently on the rise, this book offers invaluable insights that can inform researchers and policymakers alike. It serves as a beacon of hope, demonstrating that education and mediation are the bridges to empowerment and cultural understanding.
