Every Summer, in partnership with the Department of Sociology of the Catholic University of the Sacred Heart of Milan, Fondazione Migrante, and the Scalabrinian Agency for Cooperation and Development, SIMI organizes the Summer School “Migration and Global Justice”.

The next edition will be held from 25 to 28 August in Castellammare di Stabia (Napoli).

Registration closes on 31 July.

Among the numerous initiatives dedicated to the epoch-making phenomenon of international migration, the Summer School “Human Mobility and Global Justice” wants to be characterized by a kind of 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 School’s 13th Edition, scheduled for August 25-28, 2025, will analyze these intertwined issues by focusing on the issue of “children of immigration” and confronting the sensitive issue of second generations.

After having “migrated” from Loreto to Rome, from Rocca di Melendugno (Lecce) to Castel Volturno (Caserta), from Lampedusa to Montepaone Lido (Catanzaro), from Santa Maria di Leuca to Shengjin (Albania) to Gorizia, the Summer School lands this year in Castellammare di Stabia (Naples), offering participants the opportunity to learn “from the inside” about 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.”

Beneficiaries

The Summer School is offered to students and Ph.D. candidate; civil servants, social workers and professionals actively involved in the field of migration and development cooperation; directors of pastoral of migration, work and family; teachers and trainers, researchers and scholars, directors of associations, volunteers, journalists and other communication actors.

Credits

Certificate

Certificate of Attendance will be provided to participants at the end of the School. The Summer School is included in professor’s training and updating initiatives organized by the University and recognized by the School administration according to the current legislation.
