The course moves on from the observation of the current multimodal character of contemporary migration, of the consistent refugee flows triggered by crises and conflicts in different regions on the margins of the European continent, of the dimensions of south-south migration and the wide range of internal migration in some large areas of the globe. From a theoretical perspective, a transnational approach allows to analyze the migratory phenomena as a continuum between countries of destination and origin, to look at the transnational practices of migrants and diasporas, as well as the social transformations generated by migratory flows. The crisis of the multicultural model will be discussed in a comparative perspective in the light of the inclusion and socio-educational policies adopted in different national contexts.
The course aims to solicit curiosity and interest on migratory phenomena, cultural diversity and their management through a path of self-reflection and discussion based on bibliographic, audiovisual materials and reports from privileged witnesses. Students will be invited to present their experiences and reflections in order to refine their positions on the perception and reality of contemporary migration, on the role of policies and practices of governmental and non-governmental actors in their management at local, national and international level.
At the end of the course the student:
- has become familiar with the complexity of migratory phenomena and their management in contemporary societies
- has developed a capacity for self-reflection and re-elaboration of their experiences and knowledge on the subject of migration
- is able to critically orient her/him-self between the different approaches to social inclusion and multiculturalism

materiale didattico
In the second part, the European context highlights, through statistical and ethnographic materials, the ongoing contrast between the migration control and integration policies' dimension, the impact of transnational migration on integration processes, the absence of adequate common migration and asylum policies and finally the need for suitable intercultural and intergenerational communication practices. The importance of historical memory and the transmission of knowledge on migration through diversity education facilitate the fight against problematization and thus allow the initiation of citizenship and naturalization practices appropriate to the new multi-ethnic reality and hybrid identities of transnational migrant communities.
Among others, the following topics will be covered:
Perception and reality of international migration
The multimodal nature of contemporary migration
The transnational turn in the study of migration
From 'guest workers' to 'long-term residents': a brief overview of the history of immigration to Europe (1950-1989)
The 'third wave': irregular migration, refugees and asylum seekers in the post-cold war era (1989-)
The Mediterranean model: migratory flows and policies in the new immigration countries of southern Europe (since the early 1980s)
Immigration from the east and the EU neighborhood policies: the pre- and post- enlargement framework
Comparison of models of social inclusion: differentiated exclusion, assimilation, multiculturalism and cosmopolitanism
Immigration, cultural diversity and integration: what common standard for different migratory experiences?
Migration and intercultural competences: training needs and integration practices of organizations in the multi-ethnic sector

Programma
In the first part of the course, starting from the definition of international migrant adopted by the United Nations, we will try to deconstruct the perception and reality of migratory phenomena under observation with a brief historical excursus from the second post-war period. Emphasis will be placed on the current multimodal character of international migration and on migrant transnationalism and diaspora in economic, political, social and educational contexts. Multiculturalism, cosmopolitanism and different models of inclusion will be compared and analyzed in view of the social and political evolution of contemporary societies.In the second part, the European context highlights, through statistical and ethnographic materials, the ongoing contrast between the migration control and integration policies' dimension, the impact of transnational migration on integration processes, the absence of adequate common migration and asylum policies and finally the need for suitable intercultural and intergenerational communication practices.
