Syria's War Comes to Europe

By James LeGrice of Insight Consulting Group
Europe is no longer insulated from Syria's civil war. This month, refugees, mainly
from Syria, arrived in Greece at a rate of over 5,000 per day. They join half a 
million who have fled Syria and other conflict zones this year to a European Union
drastically unprepared for an exodus of this magnitude. There is a risk now that
 European nations will opt for quick solutions to deliver short term results at 
the expense of long term challenges.
Europe is divided on how to accommodate, and whether it even should accommodate,
 the refugees.

Funding Social Entrepreneurship in Latin America

In early September FormarHub, along with IQLatino and the IDEA Center at Miami Dade
Community College, hosted a multi-day conference with young Latino leaders in education
called Leading Education. Though the conference's central theme was education a 
common secondary thread was entrepreneurship and it's potential to solve the education
gap in Latin America as well as other deep-seated issues plaguing Latin American
 countries like lack of access to health care and finance for low-income populations.

The Other Ukraine Crisis

Ever since Russia's covert invasion of eastern Ukraine last year turned the Donbas
into a war zone, millions of Ukrainians have fled their homes in search of shelter
and safety. The vast majority of those displaced have decided to remain in Ukraine,
but now find themselves strangers in their own country. Uprooted from their communities,
living in temporary shelters or basements far away from home, and lacking employment
opportunities and social benefits, these internally displaced persons (IDPs) pose
an immense challenge to a beleaguered Ukrainian state.

Pope Francis Focuses on Income Inequality

Pope Francis wrapped up his tour of the United States this week after a series of
speeches where he pressed leaders to address some of the critical issues affecting
the world today. Flanked by two devout Catholic statesmen - Vice President Joe Biden
and Speaker of the House John Boehner - Pope Francis spoke to a joint session of
 Congress to urge its leaders to use their power and summon "a spirit of cooperation"
to act on climate change and address the income inequality that is afflicting the
globe. As the increasingly popular leader of 1.2 billion Catholics, Pope Francis
 tried to leverage his voice to spur an overly lethargic and partisan Congress into
action.
