This course offers participants the opportunity to learn about migration, which is a widespread phenomenon in today's world. The course will offer the analysis of the psychological and psychosocial perspective of new migrations.Although migration is a natural phenomenon as old as humanity itself (together with mutation and natural selection, it is one of the driving forces behind human evolution) and the history of migration is largely the history of mankind, each migration has its own set of specific characteristics. In recent years there has been a perceptible change in migratory circumstances, and the migration of the twenty-first century takes place in very difficult conditions. The migratory phenomenon will be studied from a humanist, psychological approach.
