PoPMob/CAPP Summer School on Migration Immigration and Asylum in Portugal. Policies and Practices
This initiative is part of the Activity Plan of CAPP's research line PopMob - Population and Mobility, of which the organizers are members.
Migration is one of the most important, if not the most important issue on the contemporary European agenda. In the case of Portugal, which has traditionally been perceived as a country of emigration, immigration and more recently asylum, have become increasingly visible phenomena. They are also subject to regulation through public policy with a view to reception and integration. At ISCSP, migration is not only a research topic for several professors from the various study centers, but it is also possible to identify a link in the pedagogical domain through the various specialized curricular units offered in the bachelor and master courses.
The Summer School is aimed at training in the field of international migration and international protection, combining the acquisition of knowledge in the legal, theoretical, statistical, methodological, and empirical fields. The learning objectives are to acquire:
1. Knowledge about contemporary issues related to international migration and international protection, and the ability to problematize them, in general and for Portuguese society in particular;
2. Introductory knowledge about the main concepts and theories in the field of migrations
3. Knowledge about the main European and Portuguese legal frameworks for the management, reception and integration of migrants, both in the field of voluntary migration, forced migration and international protection;
4. Statistical Literacy in migration, promoting the ability to identify, use and interpret data on resident foreigners, immigration and international protection;
5. Ability to deconstruct perceptions about migration and communicate rigorously the knowledge acquired;
