The Human Rights, Migration and Globalization Summer School 2013
8 to 12 July 2013, NUI Galway, Ireland
The Summer School will familiarise participants with the sources of migrants' rights and the available protection mechanisms. It will provide participants with an understanding of the major tensions underlying the issue of the protection of migrants' rights and of how globalization shapes these tensions. During the five days of intensive sessions provided by leading experts in the area, participants will be provided with a detailed working knowledge of the issues through presentations, readings and group discussions, which will include components on research and advocacy skills.
The programme will include a variety of social activities that will allow participants to network with each other and the panel of specialists in a relaxed and friendly environment. The Summer School is open to anyone interested in the contemporary challenges of migration and human rights protection, including practitioners, journalists, NGO representatives, government officials and students.
