Debate on the European refugee crisis on 12 October

Studium Generale, UNSA and ESA Concordantia will host a Debate Café to discuss the current European refugee crisis with experts on topics such as EU immigration, Europe’s role in the Middle East, diaspora engagement and migration history. A Syrian refugee will join the panellists to talk about the human aspects of migration. The debate takes place on Monday 12 October, 20.00 at Boekhandel Dominicanen Dominicanerkerkstraat 1.

Europe is in the midst of an unprecedented refugee crisis. The mass movement of migrants from Syria and other war torn nations, making the perilous journey this summer has raised issues among European nations.

These questions include the ability to control external borders, the intervention Europe should take in these failed states and most recently the shortcomings of the EU’s policy on migration.

Feel free to join in the conversation with the panel!
