Summer School "The Politics of Migration"
I just want to share with you this very interesting opportunity of Summer School organized by Prof. Andrea Pettrachin, Matteo Bassoli and Laura Lo Presti with colleagues from 5 different European universities on "The Politics of Migration".
- The summer school will take place next July in San Vito di Cadore (in the campus of the University of Padua in the Dolomites mountains).
Here the link to the website: https://www.spgi.unipd.it/internazionalizzazione/winter-and-summer-school/summer-school where you can find the info and a draft programme.
It can be a very interesting opportunity for those of you who consider further exploring migration-related issues in your future careers. The summer school will include academic sessions (with some leading scholars working on migration policies and politics in different European universities), career-oriented sessions and sessions with practitioners (from international organizations, think tanks and NGOs), applied sessions, and a group work entailing working on a policy brief on a real-world migration policy issue (directly supervised by practitioners and experts which will follow groups steps by steps...).
Applications are open until March 15th.
There is a small fee (190€, this will be reduced to 50€ for two students, merit-based) but this includes hotel and dinners in the Dolomites (San Vito can be easily reached from Padova with a public bus).
The summer school awards 3 credits.
For the fee and to cover the expenses of the Summer School you can apply also when the new call is going to be open around April for the " LD internship financial aid - DiSSGeA Outgoing Call" , anyway an email by the Secretariat of Local Development is going to be send in due time.
