The Forced Migration program is a 7-day course for people with experience in humanitarian work and migration issues. This course prepares aid workers, government, military and other professions who are often faced with the need to provide assistance to migrants and refugees. The objectives of the course are to provide participants with the framework and fundamentals of migration, the legal tools, and the knowledge of its practical aspects. They should be able to refine and enrich their experience of the different techniques of forced migration and human trafficking in a combination of theoretical study and practical exercises. These will include workshops, specific case studies, inter-active role play, and by sharing their own experiences.

The Forced Migration program began in Barcelona in 2009, where it was held in cooperation with the International Organization for Migration (IOM) and the Barcelona International Peace Centre (BCP), under the auspices of the Barcelona City Council.   Our second Forced Migration program is now scheduled in Budapest, Hungary for 2010.  Future dates and locations may be found on our Calendar of Events.

The Forced Migration program is open to candidates from all professions. If you would like to apply, please submit an application.
