Abstract (English): The article is set in the political, social, and economic context of Greece, where newly arrived refugees and migrants have ended up following the 2016 EU-Turkey agreement. The forcefully marginalised new arrivals found themselves trapped in a traditionally hostile migration environment. Greece was already struggling with severe neoliberal policies imposed by foreign lenders and accepted by domestic political elites, which have drastically affected the welfare state. In the politically and economically hectic times institutional racism and social exclusion became integrated into national migration policies. By conducting qualitative interviews, participation observation, and by exploring secondary sources, this article centres around a housing project which developed as a response to neoliberal hegemonic policies. The findings show that educational initiatives lead to the building of counter-hegemonic community, provided the practices of solidarity and collective learning, and helped educate the general public.

Abstract (Slovenian): Članek izhaja iz političnega, družbenega in gospodarskega konteksta Grčije, v kateri so se od leta 2016 po sporazumu med EU in Turčijo znašli novoprispeli begunci in migranti. Prisilno marginalizirani novoprišleki so se znašli ujeti v tradicionalno sovražnem migracijskem okolju. Grčija se je že spopadala s hudimi neoliberalnimi politikami, ki so jih vsilili tuji posojilodajalci in so jih sprejele domače politične elite ter so drastično prizadele državo blaginje. V politično in gospodarsko razburkanih časih sta institucionalni rasizem in socialna izključenost postala del nacionalnih migracijskih politik. Z izvedbo kvalitativnih intervjujev, opazovanjem z udeležbo in preučevanjem sekundarnih virov članek raziskuje stanovanjski urbani projekt, ki se je razvil kot odgovor na neoliberalne hegemonske politike. Ugotovitve kažejo, da so izobraževalne pobude vodile k izgradnji protihegemonske skupnosti, ponudile prakse solidarnosti in kolektivnega učenja ter pomagale pri izobraževanju splošne javnosti.
