Drowning Humanity?
Thu 25 June 2015
Bateman Auditorium
The “Drowning Humanity?” discussion, which is being organised by the Cambridge Migration Society, takes place on 25th June, the same day as European Union Heads of State debate the crisis at the European Council in Brussels. It will feature Nuala Mole, founder and senior lawyer at Advice on Individual Rights in Europe (AIRE); Federico Soda, Chief of Mission in Italy for the International Organisation for Migration; Kalliopi Stefanaki, protection officer and Head of the UNHCR’s Protection Unit in Greece; Wadid Benaabou, Desk Officer for Libya at the French Ministry of Foreign Affairs; and Daniela Reale from Save the Children who is also leader of the Children on the Move Global Working Group.
All can provide firsthand information and insight into current events in the Mediterranean and will discuss solutions for the migrant crisis from their various different perspectives.
The event aims to allow high-ranking professionals, whose responsibilities place them at the forefront of any collective action regarding the crisis, to exchange their views with the Cambridge academic community and deepen their understanding of each other's positions and practices. In addition, it is meant to help spur future initiatives, within the University of Cambridge and academia at large, to address the refugee crisis from an academic point of view.
