About the Study Week
The Migration Study Week, organised by Lebanon Support, is a new initiative under our Migration, Mobility, Circulation project and within the Civil Society Incubator. It offers a participatory, interdisciplinary, innovative, and intensive immersion in migration issues in the Middle East. It aims at providing practitioners, junior researchers, and journalists that work with and on refugees the opportunity to reflect critically on the main problematics that shape migration, mobility, and circulation in the Middle East.
The study week will combine interactive lectures, open discussions and exchanges, as well as field visits.
The study week is a novel space that provides scientific knowledge combined with localised and applied methods, offered by Lebanon Support’s scholars and experts, in addition to a selection of scholars from the region and Europe.
