This Study Tour focuses on the main public health challenges of migration and refugee crises, and how these challenges are handled by the international community.
We discuss the main public health and human rights challenges that different migrant populations face before, during, and after migration. You are exposed to a mixture of non-governmental agencies and refugee-driven initiatives and will gain a broader understanding of national policies of migration within Europe. You have the opportunity to discuss overall challenges and opportunities with key experts in several international organizations.
