📝 Detailed information
🏢 About the local organisation
The aim of this project is to create a space where volunteers and activists from mediterranean countries can:
-analyse the different national contexts (political, social, economical) to better understand migrations
-reflect on the causes of migrations in international level. What is the connection between migracions and human rights violations?
-present and meet projects, associations, initiatives that are working on this issue in local, national or international level
-exchange good practices and tools
-come up with new ways of action
💼 What the programme involves
Before the study camp participants will have to prepare small presentations about the situation in their country (historical context, laws, active organizations, social movements, young defenders of Human Rights, media representation). Moreover, volunteers are invited to bring and share knowledge, observations, challenges, good practices and material that can be useful for the group.
