The GLOBUS Project is an Horizon 2020 research project that critically assesses the European contribution to global justice according to different conceptions of justice (https://www.globus.uio.no/). In the context of this project the University of Bologna research team (Lead by Prof. Sonia Lucarelli), in cooperation with the Punto Europa in Forlì, will organise a Students’debate and a Students’ final conference. The best performers in the first, will participate in the second.
What is the Students’Debate?
The GLOBUS Migration & Justice Debate will take place on 25 March 2020, 2-7 PM, at the University of Bologna, Forlì Campus. It will be an afternoon in which the participant students will discuss (in plenary and in subgroups) questions and visions related to global justice in the field of migration, with the accompaniment of the GLOBUS team members from the University of Bologna.
Three students among the participants to the Debate will be selected to take part to the GLOBUS Students’ Conference with students from the other GLOBUS Universities (Oslo, Tubingen, Dublin and Johannesburg), on May 12-13, in Forlì. The same students will then attend the Final GLOBUS Conference ( University Centre in Bertinoro the 13 – 15 of May), where they will have the opportunity to engage also with the researchers involved in the GLOBUS Project, covering all the four areas of enquiry of the project (Security, Climate Change, Trade and Development, Migration).
How to get ready for the debate?
While further material will be provided to the selected participants, the GLOBUS Educational website, accessible at the address https://www.globus.uio.no/edu/, will serve as a background reference. The website offers a variety of resources, quizzes and a self-test through which visitors learn more about different conceptions of political justice, their application, their internal tensions and to what extent the EU furthers or undermines global justice. One section is dedicated to migration and its dilemmas.
