Summer School 2023

Summer School 2023 - Migration and the crises of solidarity

“Migration and the crises of solidarity”

When: Starting on Friday, June 23rd until Friday, June 30th 2023

Where: Thessaloniki, Greece

Organised by CITY College, University of York Europe Campus

Ιn cooperation with:

  • The University of York Migration Network (MIGNET)
  • The Department of Politics of the University of York
  • The Department of Politics of the University of Sheffield
  • The Department of Sociological Studies of the University of Sheffield
  • The University of Sheffield Migration Research Group

 

Description of the programme

This summer school asks – what do different crises of solidarity look like in Europe today? What central struggles and tensions are shaping practices and acts of solidarity? And ultimately, what could solidarity look like in the context of the continual movement of people to Europe in large numbers?

The summer school offers participants theoretical and practical insights into this state of continuous and successive crises that Southeast Europe has been experiencing and how this reflects on the idea of solidarity, within the Eurozone ‘crisis’, the ‘crisis’ of liberal democracy, the ‘migrant crisis’, the COVID-19 pandemic and the war in Ukraine.

Crucially, the programme offers participants direct hands-on experience ‘on the ground’ through the opportunity to engage with NGOs working with refugees and asylum seekers.

The summer school will be carried out in the form of lectures and workshops on migration, integration and solidarity, listening to real life experiences, views and insights from people working in NGOs and public authorities managing migration flows and integration in Greece.

Summer School 2019

Summer School 2019 - Moving on from the Migrant Crisis: Socio-political implications of movements to Europe

Moving on from the Migrant Crisis: Socio-political implications of movements to Europe
24 June – 2 July 2019, Thessaloniki, Greece

Organised by:
CITY College
The University of Sheffield Department of Politics
The University of Sheffield Department of Sociological Studies

Description of ​the programme:
The sustained political and media focus on movements of people across the Mediterranean Sea, which peaked in 2015, has moved on. However, the people who moved remain in Europe - and the medium and long term issues of managing diversity are only just beginning to be addressed. What is life like now for those who moved a few years ago and remain in precarious living settings with insecure immigration status? How are local organizations and institutions, in the places where numbers of recent international incomers peaked in 2015-2016, moving on from the crisis of arrival to longer term questions of integration and settlement? And what are the long terms implications for a ‘new’ European politics of the language of migration crisis, given the rise in populism and far-right political movements across many European countries? Attend lectures on migration and integration, listen to real life experiences, views and insights from people working in NGOs and public authorities managing migration flows and integration in Greece and volunteer on site with an NGO.
