EIB provides building in Luxembourg for new school for refugees, including from Ukraine


On 26 September, a new school for migrant children opened in an EIB building in Kirchberg, Luxemburg.

The EU Institute made the building available to the State of Luxembourg. The building is particularly well designed and adapted to accommodate children, as it housed the EIB’s crèche until 2020.

There are currently around 80 pupils aged 3 to 12, children of Ukrainian refugees and children of asylum seekers from other countries. The children are divided into eight main classrooms and classes are held throughout the school day. There is also an after-school crèche.

“It is important to contribute collectively to Europe’s effort to welcome with dignity and warmth children and families from Ukraine, other people at risk and those fleeing conflict zones,” EIB President Werner Hoyer said.
