On the occasion of the International Migrants Day (December 18th), the Department of Social Policy and Social Work at the Faculty of Political Science organized an online lecture for its master’s students.
During the last 10 years public discourses on migration and forced migration were being particularly shaped by armed conflict in Syria, unstable situation in Afghanistan and Iraq, civil disorders, wars and violence in Central and South America, increase of poverty and armed confrontations in several African regions and natural disasters of huge proportions all around the world. These developments yielded a sharp increase of forced migration – as many as 80 million people were in forced migration worldwide, according to the last data of the UNHCR. More than million people have passed through the Republic of Serbia since 2015, majority of them craving to reach some of the European Union member states.
Students of master studies had an opportunity to get additional information on the ongoing project“Migration, Integration, Governance and Research Centre” (MIGREC) at the Faculty of Political Science, and Danijela Pavlović, member of the MIGREC team, presented her research paper „Asylum Policy: Challenges and Responses of the System in the Republic of Serbia“.
