Azraq Refugee Camp
InZone’s Higher Education Space in Azraq refugee camp was launched in 2016. Building on the success of our Kakuma Higher Education Space, this project has included several initiatives: a Global History Lab, offered in cooperation with Princeton University; an engineering and innovation course, offered by Purdue University in collaboration with InZone; a collaboration with MIT; and InZone's Applied Arts curriculum, offered in partnership with the Flux Foundation. The Azraq Higher Education Space is founded upon the idea that re-thinking higher education - breaking it apart and starting over - requires an innovator’s mindset, and that such a mindset can be nurtured in even the most challenging of settings: a refugee camp. In this way, higher education can help all involved to build back better.
