Over the years, the selection of films in the educational programme has sought to reflect the diversity of migrant experiences and journeys, in Europe and elsewhere.<\/h2>\n<\/div>\n\n\n
<\/div>\n\n\n\n

In recent years, forced migration has become a central and controversial issue in European societies. This theme is of particular importance in academic contexts, inviting reflection upon the human condition, cultural diversity and issues of social justice.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The challenges faced by people who have migrated to Europe in search of a better future have been addressed by a variety of films in previous editions of the FIFDH\u2019s educational programme.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You can now find exciting films exploring these subjects on our new Schools platform<\/a>:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
