Description

Each year, thousands of migrants attempt to reach Europe, facing immense challenges along the way. What is really happening, from a humanitarian perspective, in the areas surrounding Europe’s borders? In the 3rd edition of this learning experience, you will explore the realities of various borderland territories and the human rights violations occurring within them. Through the voices and testimonies of experts, as well as social and political activists, you will gain insights into the economic and geopolitical interests at play, the role of European policies, and the grassroots movements resisting the infringement of migrants’ and refugees’ rights.
