Portrait Series #4: Education as Empowerment: Yahya Al-Abdullah's Path from Aleppo to Paris in Advocacy for Migrants’ Rights

Yahya Al-Abdullah's life journey is a testament to the transformative power of education and an unwavering commitment to advocating for migrant rights amidst global challenges.

His academic pursuits in English and public policy were profoundly shaped by the Arab Spring, where he passionately protested against authoritarianism and witnessed Syria's descent into “internationalized war” as he puts it. Forced to leave his homeland in 2012, Yahya embarked on a journey through Georgia, Istanbul, Budapest, and finally Paris, each step influencing his dedication to migrant education and advocacy. His journey reflects personal resilience and a relentless pursuit to bridge gaps and foster inclusive societies in the face of complex migration dynamics across Europe.
