  • Minerva - The Italian Education Hub Urmi Estate, 8th Floor, Iconic Wing, 95 Ganpatrao Kadam Marg, Lower Parel (West) Mumbai, Maharashtra, 400013 India (map)

The Program will be streamed online and is as follows:
What is UNHCR? What are its Objectives, When was it Born, Where does it Operate and Why does it Exist?

During this talk with Prof. Massimo de Giuseppe, Rector's Delegate for Inclusion and Disability and Dr. Carlotta Sami, spokesperson for the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR) we will reflect on the historical transformations of migratory processes and what different typologies currently exist.

Together with them, we will travel around the world, starting from Central America up to the routes from the Sahel and the Mediterranean, comparing the different situations and trying to understand the dynamics behind these migrations, what has been the evolution in the last decade, the response of multilateral institutions and the impact the pandemic has had on these mechanisms.
