The Centre for Intercultural Studies (CEI) of ISCAP-Polytechnic of Porto (www.iscap.pt/cei) announces the E&M2020 International Conference on EDUCATION AND MIGRATIONS, to be held between 2 and 3 July 2020, at ISCAP-P.PORTO.
Migrations in Europe and associated countries have social implications and raise issues at local, national and European levels. Many researchers concur that education is the key to a successful integration. Education provides access to resources and opportunities for self, family and community development and growth. Furthermore, the connection between Education and employability is undeniable. Thus, facilitating the access of migrants to Education will positively impact their employment opportunities and their inclusion in host communities.
In this perspective, the International Conference on Education and Migrations aims to create a wide-ranging space for the debate of ideas, concerns and work methods on the connection between education, migrations and sustainable development.
Guest-speakers:
Vasco Malta, Ministério da Administração Interna; Cristina Flores, Universidade do Minho; Jorge Malheiros, Universidade de Lisboa.
