This 5-day intensive course, organized between 22 –26 August 2022, is designed to help participants gain basic and intermediary knowledge about refugee rights and migration and better understand the role of conflicts as a cause of displacement and its effect on offering international protection.
AUDIENCE PROFILE

A maximum of 50 participants will be accepted to the program. Details about the application process are listed below.
LECTURER PROFILE

Learning Objectives
LEARNING OBJECTIVES
The objective of the Summer School is to build the knowledge of participants of refugee rights and migration, issues faced by people in need of protection, including stateless persons, internally displaced people, and migrants. Moreover, participants will understand the challenges and experiences faced by particular countries amidst mixed migration movements and look beyond the present and local/national perspectives. The program is designed to help students critically reflect on issues related to refugee rights and migration in an interdisciplinary approach during the numerous sessions taught by leading academics and professionals in the field of refugee law and migration.
The Summer School of Refugee Rights and Migration aims at offering an interdisciplinary, interactive, and experiential course focused on the political, economic, social, and cultural contexts of forced migration. The School’s goal is to create true advocates for refugees and other persons in need of protection among future academics and practitioners.
Therefore, by the end of the Summer School, participants will be able to:
● Refer to different bodies of law and sets of rights and responsibilities of persons migrating or displaced as a result of conflict;
● Explain the definitions and the use of correct terminology with regards to refugees, migrants, internally displaced persons and stateless persons;
● Discuss the policy solutions to migration-related topics and the interconnectedness of the different causes of displacement with conflict;
● List practical examples of providing protection directly to displaced persons;
● Discuss threats and opportunities concerning migration and international protection that are anticipated to arise in the future.
LANGUAGE, METHODOLOGY AND STRUCTURE
The program will be delivered in English in an online / telematics mode, via morning and afternoon sessions. Live sessions will be delivered via Zoom for Education, over 2-3 90-minute virtual sessions per day, delivered in the morning and afternoon of each day, which are mandatory to obtaining the certificate. The Agenda also includes evening social events, for which attendance is optional, but which participants are encouraged to attend to promote the networking and social capacity of the Summer School.
