PSI 1116 - Children on the Move

Credits: 2
The aim of this course is to give students a good overall understanding of the current migrant crisis in Europe with a special focus on the experience, status and rights of unaccompanied migrant children. It will provide insights into basic concepts of migration, human rights and children’s rights; students will explore different narratives behind child migration and consider the challenges of this specialized form of child advocacy in practice. The course will use Hungary as a case study, with one or two field trips, interviews and discussions with experts. Students will also have the opportunity to develop their own assessment and recommendations on policy in light of the situation in Hungary and based on comparative perspectives.
