Participants will explore the international conventions, national laws, and procedural guidelines that shape the experiences of asylum seekers and refugees. Through a project-based and interactive approach, learners will engage with real-world scenarios, enhancing their understanding of legal rights and responsibilities while developing practical skills applicable in various professional contexts.
