- Abstract
The closure of borders along the "Balkan route" and the EU-Turkey agreement in 2016 resulted in the involuntary immobility of thousands of refugees in Greece. Since then, the large-scale emergency relief aid on the Greek shores has been replaced by the development of provisions for the gradual integration of refugees within wider European society. In such a context, education comes to the fore in the management of Eu rope's so-called "refugee crisis." This article explores refugee youths' educational engagements in the framework of their "temporary" accommodation in a Transit Shelter for Unaccompanied (Male) Minors on the island of Lesvos. The article discusses how the youths themselves act upon educational arrangements made by their caretakers within a context of limited agency inscribed in a "code" of filoxenia (hospitality to foreigners). This code positions refugee youths both as temporary "guests" and simultaneously as "subjects" of discipline in the residency and in wider society.
