… this is at least the topic we are working on here in Turin. Last week lectures were more or less interesting or at least more or less good presented. In my opinion, when you work for the ILO (International Labor Organization) you should at least know if there is an official definition for migration. You also should know that the UN has 192 member states (the Vatican has only observer status) and not less or more. Our speaker of the ILO did actually not know these facts… However, even when some of the speakers made me doze away, it was interesting to gain some insight in other perspectives of migration, though it was mainly a fresh up for me.
Today we had two really interesting speakers. The first one presented EU- policies on migration and which impact the crises has/ had on this sector. The other speaker raised the important issue of the connection of migration and the media. She is herself a Maltese journalist, who is really critical in the use of mass media and its perception. I really liked that lady!
So, off I go. Have to do some shopping in the city.
