Addressing the Paradox: Demographic Trends vs. Migration Fears

English 150

Join us as we navigate this paradox and examine how societies and governments can strike a balance between tackling demographic imperatives and addressing fears about immigration.//INFO: Bring hiking shoes and water.

The Externalisation of EU Migration Management: Out of Sight, Out of Mind?

English 150

There are also discussions on transferring asylum seekers to purportedly safe third countries and processing their asylum applications there like the UK plans to do in Rwanda. Does this approach work and is it compatible with European values? //INFO: Bring hiking shoes and water.
