OBJECTIVE
The fundamental aim of this course is to help the participants to analyse the relation among our society and immigrants and refugees by a multi-cultural perspective. Owing to the increasing and by now steady migratory flow, the number of immigrants having a multi-cultural background is increasing in Italy and in Europe as well. For this reason, and in order to implement properly professional work procedures and techniques, an analysis of the actual migratory flows and trends is fundamental, through a cross-sector approach and adopting a robust multicultural perspective.
