Summary/Abstract: In this paper we will present narratives of the representatives of faith-based humanitarian organizations of the Serbian Orthodox Church, the Roman Catholic Church and the Seventh Day Adventist Church. The narratives provide description of the activities of these organizations regarding education of migrants in Serbia when, from the year 2016 – after the closure of the formalized migration corridor and new securitarian turn of the migration policy – migrants’ integration programs took primacy over those focused on urgent reception. The material has been obtained through semi-structured interviews and will be presented in two sections, the activities of the faith-based organizations in relation to the elementary school education, as well as the activities related to high-school education and education of the adults.
