Learning for Citizenship 2021 – Supporting migrant students through the pandemic

Funded by the Social Policy Association (UK), this online event will bring together academics, practitioners, NGOs and policy-makers from across Europe, in order to exchange and discuss best practice of inclusion, engagement, practical and emotional support for migrant and refugee students from different backgrounds, educational levels and local contexts. The event will focus in particular on the new challenges created by the Covid-19 pandemic in the short and long term; but it will also build on years of international research on migration and education, examining how the experiences of good practice consolidated over the past years can inform new and sustainable interventions.

This initiative is organised in partnership by the icPSP (International Centre for Public and Social Policy) at the University of Nottingham; NIESR (National Institute for Economic and Social Research); EMIGRA-CER Migracions of the Autonomous University of Barcelona; and the Department of Culture, Politics and Society (CPS) of the University of Turin. The event takes place within the wider framework of ‘Learning for Citizenship’: an initiative to build an international network on “good practice of inclusion, engagement, practical and emotional support for migrant and refugee students”.
