Facilitator Claudio J. Delfabro and Kristijan Mihaljovski
Duration: 60 min
Methodology: case studies, presentation, key messages, discussion

Structure:
The session examines the complexity of mixed movements and enables participants to familiarise with and distinguish among the main categories of persons on the move, such as refugees, stateless and internally displaced persons, and trafficked and smuggled people. This allows the class to approach important definitions at an introductory level, and to align the understanding of key topics.

The session also provides an in-depth analysis of the components of the refugee definition provided for by Article 1A(2) of the 1951 Convention related to the Status of Refugees and clearly outlines all the necessary elements which make a person a refugee.

The class is delivered interactively, through a mix of theory and practice, such as case studies, and guided discussions.

Bangladesh is not a signatory to the 1951 Convention relating to the Status of Refugees or its 1967 Protocol (the “Refugee Convention”), and refugee rights are not regulated through any specific legislation. Bangladesh has, however, been hosting a large number of Rohingya refugees historically and more notably since August 2017. Rohingya refugees in Bangladesh are the world’s largest stateless refugee population and living in densely populated 34 refugee camps in Cox’s Bazar, Bangladesh. The session aims to explain the work of UNHCR in delivering protection in the field and its efforts to support refugees build resilience and to find their solutions in a challenging reality.

Duration: 60 min
Methodology:

Structure:

Part 1. Identifying the Problem: Refugee Depoliticization
o Medicalization (emphasis on PTSD)
o Pacification
o Construction of Vulnerability

Part 2. Proposed Solution: Political Empowerment
o Pedagogy of liberation (Paolo Freire)
o Psychology of liberation (Ignacio Martin-Baro)

Part 3. Refugee Political Consciousness and Collective Action
The course will emphasize on the prospects of overcoming the refugee crisis. In order to do that, it is essential to firstly pinpoint the key challenges that lie on the way. The central focus will be on the depoliticization of the refugee experience, as migration management is undergoing a constant effort to conceal the conscious exercise of
power over refugees. By medicalizing the consequences of the refugee experience people are left victimized and approached through a lens of depersonalization.
Asylum officials, psychologists and social workers, regardless of their intentions, are constructing a vulnerable and passive migrant subject. The way out of this impasse can be seen by an active process of empowerment that politically engages refugees while de-medicalizing and de-individualizing their experiences. Drawing from liberation thinkers and practitioners such as Paolo Freire and Ignacio Martin-Baro, the
proposed avenue of change lies in political education and in the prospects rising from refugee collectivization.

Lecturer: Lobna Abdel Hadi
Duration: 60 min
Methodology: presentation, case studies, discussion

Structure:
In acknowledging that international protection is temporary, the session outlines the three traditional solutions for refugees: voluntary repatriation, resettlement, and local integration. It also presents complementary pathways, as measures adopted to expand third country solutions, and ease pressure on host States, while enhancing refugees' self-reliance.

The general framework of the topic is the Global Compact on Refugees, which aims to transform the way the world responds to forced displacement, by operationalising the principles of international responsibility-sharing and cooperation.
The class is delivered interactively, through a mix of theory and practice, such as case studies, and guided discussions.
