Education
Summer Schools & Training Programme
An interdisciplinary and practice-oriented training pathway addressing the protection and integration of unaccompanied minors in Europe.
Within its broader research framework, the HUMANS project develops a structured training programme centred on the reception and integration of unaccompanied minors within the European legal space.
At the core of this initiative are three intensive summer schools hosted by the University of Campania “Luigi Vanvitelli”, each designed to combine academic knowledge with practical application.
Structure of the Programme
Three-Year Pathway
Each summer school consists of 52 hours of teaching and focuses on a specific stage in the legal and social pathway of unaccompanied minors.
First reception of unaccompanied migrant minors within the European legal framework
Family life and "secondary" movements within the European Union
Integration of unaccompanied minors and young adult migrants, with a focus on civil, economic, and social rights
Methodology
Teaching Approach
The programme adopts an interdisciplinary and problem-based methodology aimed at developing both theoretical knowledge and practical skills.
Lectures
Providing a solid legal and theoretical foundation, with contributions from academic experts and stakeholders involved in real-case scenarios.
Problem-based learning
Enabling participants to apply legal frameworks to concrete situations related to the reception and protection of unaccompanied minors.
Debates
Encouraging participants to engage with different perspectives by simulating the roles of key actors involved in migration processes.
Delivery
Access & Delivery
The summer schools are held in Italian and delivered in person, with the possibility of remote participation. All sessions are recorded and made available on the project website to ensure broader accessibility and long-term dissemination.
Complementary Activities
Research Seminars
Complementing the training programme, HUMANS organises annual research workshops held online in English. These workshops focus on the evolving European and national legal framework, particularly in light of the new regulations introduced by the European Pact on Migration and Asylum.
Adopting a multidisciplinary approach, they provide up-to-date scientific analysis and contribute directly to the development of the summer schools, ensuring that training activities are informed by the latest research findings.
