Migration: Challenge yourself!

Content

Since the earliest times, humanity has been on the move. Some people move in search of work or economic opportunities, to join family, or to study. Others move to escape conflict, persecution, terrorism, or human rights violations. Still others move in response to the adverse effects of climate change, natural disasters, or other environmental factors.
Today, more people than ever live in a country other than the one in which they were born. According to the IOM World Migration Report 2020, as of June 2019 the number of international migrants was estimated to be almost 272 million globally, 51 million more than in 2010. Nearly two thirds were labour migrants. International migrants comprised 3.5 per cent of the global population in 2019. This compared to 2.8 per cent in 2000 and 2.3 per cent in 1980. While many individuals migrate out of choice, many others migrate out of necessity.

﻿
﻿
﻿
Have you learned something new or did you know the difference before?
﻿
In which moments in your daily life do you come in touch with these topics? When you listen to the news? Have you ever thought about how people from other countries are integrated in your country? The European Union created an Action Plan on Integration and Inclusion. You can find it in the material below. What do you think about it?
﻿
There are probably also personal moments in your daily life where you meet people from other coutries. They might have been refugees or migrants or maybe they are just somewhere else for other reasons like holidays or Erasmus+. No matter the reason, intercultural communication might be an interesting skill when you are getting to know them:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SkBXaKfxl7Y﻿
