This session will be focused on the learnings taken from a training course on migration, specifically forced migration. It will summarise the 6-day training sessions hosted by CURVE (Cultivating Understanding of Refugees and Vulnerable Environments), @kairoseurope and Erasmus+. Learnings will be rounded off with topline conclusions on forced migration, philanthropic support and donor relations.

This CURVE training will be run by a range of people from refugees to practitioners. Sessions include:

• Understanding the Migration Issues of Southern EU Countries
• Understanding how climate emergency is already influencing forced migration
• Mental health: PTSD, traumas, cultural shock and more: what are the signs and how can we help
• Alternative languages: music, art, theatre, dance & informal education techniques to facilitate interaction and mutual exchange with the local community
• Hate Speech, social media and the danger of spreading fear of the “other” as a cultural and religious threat
• Learning about the specific issues faced by women and unaccompanied minors
