WHY TAKE THE COURSE?
The world is witnessing an unprecedented displacement crisis. The number of people affected by forced displacement (refugees, asylum seekers and internally displaced persons - IPD) worldwide has doubled from 2011 to 2021. These are the highest levels of forced displacement since the end of World War II.
Precisely because it is a phenomenon of this magnitude, we understand the need to better understand the situation. Consequently, we approach in our classes the concepts according to legal needs and imperatives, working with practical examples and analysis of migratory flows.
Understanding the history and concepts of this movement allows volunteers to carry out a more conscious and effective trip/action humanitário .
