EUROPE’S ABILITY TO ACCOMMODATE DIVERSITY
Thursday, 26th September 2013
University of Deusto (Bilbao)
Room 153, University of Deusto (Bilbao)
In the framework of the 7FP Training Network “Integration and international migration: pathways and integration policies”, the Institute of Human Rights of the University of Deusto is pleased to announce the first scientific thematic workshop organized by the working group on “Identity and Cultural Integration”.
This working group focuses on the social and political challenges raised by the increasing levels of cultural, linguistic, ethnic and religious diversity in Europe and on the problems and/or opportunities that such diversity creates for the integration of migrants. This first workshop aims at discussing the state of the art regarding the different models of immigrant integration, particularly in their relationship with rights and legal standards, as well as the main topics that might hinder that integration processes, particularly perceptions and attitudes vis-à-vis cultural diversity.
The workshop will be a one-day seminar with two sessions.
The morning session (11.00 to 13.15) will host lectures by Frédérique AST (Défenseur des droits, France) and Arkaitz FULLAONDO (IKUSPEGI, Observatorio Vasco de la Inmigración), followed by a discussion.
The afternoon session (15.00 to 17.00) will hold a Round Table discussion for PhD candidates, with Saioa BILBAO, Giulia DI CARLO, José Ramón INTXAURBE, Tina MAGAZZINI and Gorka URRUTIA.
