Participants will gain a foundational understanding of refugees and other categories of people in need of protection, the respective legal frameworks that protect each category, and how to ensure protection and assistance in the context of mixed movements. The course will also explore contemporary issues such as climate change and its impact on displacement, highlighting the need for durable solutions and the role everyone can play in protecting and advocating for the rights of forcibly displaced and stateless people.

Participants must have a very good knowledge of the course language to consult background materials, attend lessons, and participate in group works and discussions (no simultaneous translation is available).

The online course is structured over three weeks, with three 90-minute live sessions per week delivered via Zoom for Education. The course strikes a balance between theory and practice and is delivered through a participatory and creative teaching methodology, aimed at facilitating the learning process and implementing the knowledge gained throughout the training. Participants will tackle real-world issues through case studies, testimonials, group work, and other activities during sessions which also include lectures, presentations, and audio-visual support, taking into account the various learning styles of a diversified audience.
