Abstract: | The 21st century, not yet two decades old, has already seen massive migration of peoples escaping the degradation of the environment, effects of war, threats to security and lack of opportunity in their countries of origin. Those who survive, some having to come to terms with the trauma of losing loved ones along the way, enter host countries as migrants, refugees and temporary workers. This article examines the plight of these vulnerable migratory populations in light of the global responsibility for attaining the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) by 2030. Special attention is given to the support necessary for a lifelong learning (LLL) response to enable this population to live a life characterised by dignity. The authors argue for a LLL process that addresses the particular politics of “disposability” surrounding many migrants’ lives. |
