The Summer School will cover five topics which are considered crucial in order to understand labour market integration of migrants and asylum seekers in Europe today. The praxis-based approach enables an investigation of these issues from different perspectives with the help of high-profile academic scholars and experts from the field.
The learning process aims to investigate challenges and opportunities of labour market integration of migrants and asylum seekers and enhance the approach and effectiveness of those who work, or who are willing to work, in this field, as well as in the fields of social communication and academic research.
