Since the uprising in 2011 in Syria, the political regime implemented increasingly intolerant and brutal and violent practices. Migrating Syrians, fleeing from Syria for their lives as undocumented refugees, face rapidly changing bureaucracy which, as quicksand, offers no foundation for building a good life. Access to education for children and young adults operationalises ‘exclusion by inclusion’, with little incentive to study. Three important case studies, in Lebanon in Turkey and in France show how the lack of inclusive policies has led to the exclusion of Syrians in these two neighbouring countries and the European country equally. In Lebanon, Turkey and France, Syrian refugees, like Palestinian refugees do not have equal access to education and the labour market. Virtual learning degree courses that may be accessible to Syrian and Palestinian refugees are useless with no pathways to a nation state's professions or teaching. This prevents Syrians and Palestinian refugees co-constructing public policy that supports diversity, equity and boosts inclusion. Drawing on this symposium's framework as a theoretical foundation and employing action research methodology throughout the curriculum design, this study delves into the multifaceted consequences of culturally relevant challenges for Syrian refugees in these three cases. These include Violence, Uncertainty, Chaos, Ambiguity and war, a loss of home, a loss of good livelihood, a loss of family and cultural traditions, and forced migration with refugee undocumented status into nation states that do not honour the Syrian language, literacies and wisdom. This can erode memories and ABCDE offers communities the chance to reignite the powerful memories of a culture and language and build community to advocate for social justice with feedback-loops to policy makers. The PEACE can mobilise ABCDE with agendas to develop strategies with milestones, that can be monitored and evaluated to hold governments accountable, through open government partnerships, to script inclusionary policies for education and all ares of the quadruple helix to realise social justice. Step by step PEACE and ABCDE can be mainstreamed with Virtual Universities in the digital economy offering high quality Micro-Credential Modules for teacher training and Continuing Professional Development to build communities’ languages and cultures of democracy to dismantle systemic injustices.
