Training


Introduction

The Migration Policy Centre (MPC) at the European University Institute (EUI) conducts advanced research and training on the transnational governance of international migration, asylum, and mobility to provide new ideas, rigorous evidence and critical thinking to inform major European and global policy debates.

Format

Our training activities support and enhance professional development by bridging advanced research and the practical experiences of a wide variety of stakeholders including academics, diplomats, policy officials, civil society organisations, international organisations, and journalists. MPC trainings provide an opportunity to step back from individual or organisational perspectives and to build connections in a learning environment that is interactive, inclusive, and immersive.

Interactive: a combination of expert inputs and practical activities

Expert inputs are combined with practical activities. Sessions generally begin with input from the trainer that is not a general, descriptive presentation, but involves discussion of recent research or about challenges from the perspective of the organisation she/he is working for, with practical examples. The input is followed by an activity: a plenary debate, a simulation, a case study, or group work on a given question. This combination of trainer-led input sessions and practical activities is crucial to build on the expertise of participants and create space for discussing varying perspectives.

Inclusive: a diverse and trust-based environment

An inclusive and trust-based environment is created by trainers that bring a variety of perspectives. Participants in our training programmes are highly diverse in terms of their countries of origin, professional backgrounds and career experiences. We strive to ensure balance in terms of gender and diversity of backgrounds. Discussions follow the Chatham House Rule: anyone who attends the training is free to use information from the discussion but is not allowed to reveal who made any particular comment.

Immersive: a continuous and open exchange

We create online tools that facilitate learning, professional development and exchange beyond the classroom. Online tools provide a detailed description of the programme, readings and other resources, as well as additional information and contacts of the trainers and participants. We do not require that participants prepare before the training, but we make reading materials and other resources available online to enable participants to get a clear sense of the training. We then use these online tools to maintain connections with those who attend our trainings that can lead to further cooperation and collaborations.

This week I had the pleasure to take part in the executive training on 'Migration communication strategies: effective approaches to depolarise the debate' organised by the Migration Policy Centre in collaboration with the School of Transnational Governance. I really enjoyed learning about practical solutions to produce and promote a value-based approach to narrative change. Engaging with 'the movable middle' and building upon overlapping values is going to be key to shape the migration debate in the context of the upcoming EP elections and beyond.

After spending the last few days in Florence, I still feel like my head is in the sky - in a good way. It was such an amazing opportunity to not only explore a beautiful city, but also participate in the European University Institute's executive training on 'Effective Migration Management: Putting Policy Into Action'. I really recommend the training to anyone interested #migration policy making and implementation. It was a perfect mix of theory and practice that makes you appreciate the challenges that policy makers face.

What an insightful journey. Last week I attended the "Effective Migration Management" Executive Training organized by European University Institute and the School of Transnational Governance in the beautiful Badia Fiesolana; 3 days of enriching discussions and engagement on migration policies, drivers as well as managing migration crises. A perfect mix between theory and practice.

Pleased to inform you that I have participated in Executive training program on "Effective Migration Management" organised by School of Transnational Governance European University Institute Florence Italy during 5-7 October, 2022. Association with EUI in any form is nothing less than dream come true for migration scholar and I had this opportunity to live up to this dream in none other than EUI itself. It's a proud moment for scholars working in field of migration.

I feel lucky to have participated in two executive training programs at the European University Institute these past two weeks. The first is "Migration Communication Strategies: Effective Approaches to Depolarise the Debate," which was organized by both the School of Transnational Governance and the Migration Policy Centre. I thought it was the perfect mix of academic and practical since it conveyed lots of interesting insights about how to incorporate research on public attitudes toward migration into communication campaigns that actually work.
