Abstract

Thousands of people voluntarily or involuntarily leave their homes on a daily basis.
One of the reasons may be a search for a better place to live, however, another reason
may be the fact that people feel worried about their human rights and their safety;
they are at risk or are facing persecution in their place of residence. UNHCR and
Eurostat - Statistics Explained statistic data show that in 2017, as a result of conflict
or persecution, almost 1 (one) person has been forcibly displaced every two seconds.
In the member states of the European Union in 2017 were registered 36.9 million
people who were born outside the EU – 28 and 20.4 million were born in a different
EU member state.
In order to be able to start and continue their lives, these people need to be involved in
all spheres of social life in the country into which they have moved. The inclusion of
children of migrants and refugees in the education system is one of the most
important segments of the overall process of involving them in the new social context.
Educational inclusion brings numerous challenges that children in the education
system face as well as the state itself. Cultural as well as linguistic differences affect
not only the adaptation and adjustment to the new environment but also the way these
people are perceived by the hosts in the new environment.
This paper aims to explore the inclusion of immigrant and refugee children in early
childhood education, to explore the challenges that preschool children face in the
process of their inclusion in the education system, as well as the ways to overcome
the difficulties.
