Summer School on Human Mobility and Global Justice: Children of Immigration

Summer School on Human Mobility and Global Justice

Children of Immigration: Citizens of a Global World

Among the numerous initiatives dedicated to the epoch-making phenomenon of international migration, the Summer School “Human Mobility and Global Justice” pursues a repositioning of perspective, placing the analysis of human mobility processes within a broader reflection, which refers precisely to the question of global justice, read in all its implications: economic, political, social, cultural, ethical and pastoral.

The 13th Edition of the School, scheduled for August 25-28, 2025, will analyze these intertwined issues by focusing on the theme of “children of immigration” and confronting the sensitive issue of second generations. As has happened in all countries of immigration, in Italy too the bursting onto the public scene of young people with an immigrant background has the effect of reshaping the entire relationship between society and immigration, bringing out all the limitations of integration “models.” At the same time, the condition and expectations of these young people have a strongly challenging value.

The school lands this year in Castellammare di Stabia (Naples), offering participants the opportunity to get to know “from the inside” a paradigmatic territory to question the inclusiveness of training systems and the labor market, the need to offer answers to the identity restlessness that accompanies the transition to adulthood, the willingness to welcome and support the desire for participation and protagonism, and the opportunity to value the generative potential of vulnerability by taking on the point of view of the “peripheries.”

The Summer School will be held in Italian
