Learning unit contents
The MOOC proposes to follow in 7 steps the path of migrants from the society of origin to the society of settlement. These migratory journeys, as we shall see, can vary significantly from one migrant to another. One can migrate with or without legal authorization to do so. One can find better economic opportunities in the country of residence or on the contrary be in a precarious situation. Finally, migration can lead to permanent settlement or, conversely, to multiple moves or even a return to the society of origin.
Learning outcomes of the learning unit
Why do migrants seek to reach Europe? How do they travel here? What are their motivations? How do they integrate in their destination countries ? Will they ever return to their country of origin? In this MOOC, we propose to discuss these questions together and provide you with the tools to develop a critical and autonomous reflection on the controversial phenomenon of migration.
At the end of this course, you will be able to:
- Understand migration vocabulary
- To reflect on and question migration policies
- To analyse migratory routes
