Poster

Political migration is one of the most debated topics in the public debate. The boundaries and differences between political and economic motivations at the root of migration flows are at the basis of discussions, conflicts and interpretations that significantly affect the reading, perception and governance of international mobility. The aim of the training school is to deepen the evolution of political migrations in contemporary Italy, from the Risorgimento to the present day, from a historical point of view, identifying both effective reading keys to understand their specificities and didactic paths able to support their dissemination in schools.

In the morning sessions, the training school will include lectures and speeches by highly qualified scholars and in the afternoon sessions presentations of teaching units by teachers, meeting the increasingly widespread demand for knowledge on the history of migration from the world of education.

External auditors are admitted. Participants (scholarship holders and auditors) will receive a certificate of attendance.
