“…Today, reflection is at a turning point: it questions the unique and imposed Global North / Western-centred perspective that prevails in EiE and HEiE and suggests participatory approaches (e.g. Swindell et al, 2022).…”

Research in the field of Higher Education in Emergencies (HEiE) starts to question the imposed Global North-centred perspective which arrives with ready-made solutions, considering refugees as objects of intervention rather than subjects of transformation.Leveraging the broader topics of Open Science and Open Education, this paper pioneers a new approach to scientific cooperation, fostering values of Openness in refugee higher education. It specifically addresses HEiE in Niger, Africa, in a training of trainers' programme. It is designed in a participatory manner involving academics from the Global South and Global North, refugees who are themselves educators, and NGOs. Taking the form of a Certificate of Open Studies (COS), the training empowers refugees as enabled change agents, capable of making sense of diverse knowledge systems to transform their reality.Preliminary understanding of Open Cooperation is shared through a conceptual framework, Empowering refugees through liberation-oriented education. It addresses sustainability at the ontological and epistemic levels and relies on four main dimensions: Epistemologies of the South, Openness, Common good and Education as empowerment. 50 Class et al.

Prior to 2020, empirical research and reports on approaches to education during health crises were limited. They focused primarily on reporting local-level response and provided only limited analysis. Various historic epidemics, like SARS, Ebola, and HIV/AIDS, provided important lessons about educational efficacy during major health emergencies. However, the sudden emergence of the COVID-19 pandemic led to an explosion of research on educating during a worldwide health crisis. This integrative literature review (Torraco 2005) uses the INEE Minimum Standards framework to conceptualize the response to pandemics and epidemics from 1990 to 2020. The research analyzes 124 empirical studies, practitioner and governmental reports, and historic accounts of Ebola, SARS, and other epidemics, as well as early responses to COVID-19, in order to understand how education stakeholders continued educating during widespread communicable illnesses. The high-level themes that emerged included the foundational role of context and community support; access to an equitable education in the digital age; the social-emotional wellbeing of teachers and students; teachers' role in adapting curriculum and pedagogy; the need for additional training and support for teachers; and the opportunity for a creative shift in practices and policies in education.

Avant 2020, peu de recherches empiriques et de rapports étaient disponibles sur les méthodes éducatives pendant les crises sanitaires. Ces recherches se concentraient principalement au niveau local et ne proposaient qu'une analyse limitée de la situation. Les diverses épidémies qui ont sévi par le passé, notamment le SRAS, Ebola et le VIH/SIDA, nous ont permis de tirer des leçons importantes concernant l'efficacité de l'éducation dans les contextes d'urgences sanitaires majeures. Toutefois, l'émergence soudaine de la pandémie du COVID-19 a conduit à une véritable explosion du nombre de recherches portant sur les stratégies éducatives en période de crise sanitaire mondiale. Cette analyse intégrative de la littérature (Torraco 2005) utilise le cadre des normes minimales de l'INEE pour conceptualiser la réponse du système éducatif face aux pandémies et aux épidémies entre 1990 et 2020. Cette recherche s'appuie sur 124 études empiriques, des comptes rendus de praticiens et des rapports gouvernementaux, des témoignages d'époque sur Ebola, le SRAS et d'autres épidémies, ainsi que les premières solutions pédagogiques trouvées lors du déclenchement du COVID-19. Ce travail de recherche va permettre de comprendre comment les acteurs de l'éducation ont continué à enseigner pendant que ces maladies contagieuses se répandaient à travers le monde. Plusieurs thèmes essentiels ont émergé, notamment le rôle fondamental du contexte et du soutien communautaire ; l'accès à une éducation équitable à l'ère numérique ; le bien-être socio-émotionnel des enseignants et des élèves ; le rôle des enseignants dans l'adaptation des programmes et de la pédagogie ; la nécessité d'une formation et d'un soutien supplémentaires pour les enseignants ; et l'opportunité d'effectuer un changement créatif dans les méthodes et les politiques en matière d'éducation.
