    First of all, it is very important that lessons in Greek can be provided to refugees. School can organize a bazaar, a ball, a charity or any other fundraising events that can help refugees feel welcome. Also, school should encourage students to accept refugees. Furthermore, older students can help younger refugee children with homework, whenever they can afford the time. Lastly, they can invite them to join them when they play sports in the gym class, so they can get to know each other better.

    Thanks to the refugees, the local community will have more manpower. Also, residents can learn more things about their culture and their lifestyle and become more open-minded. Lastly, some of the refugees will grow and maybe create their businesses, that employ locals, pay taxes and generate wealth.
