2024│Nicole Epting: Forced displacement in the world and Central/Eastern European region (in English)

Did you know that more than 117.3 million people worldwide were forcibly displaced at the end of 2023? In this lecture, Nicole Epting provides insights into the current developments in the realm of forced displacement, both globally and within the Central/Eastern European context, with a special focus on the situation in Ukraine, covering risks, needs, and return intentions of those forcibly displaced. The lecture also offers an overview of the solutions to displacement and highlights the importance of a multi-stakeholder approach in addressing the issue. 

This lecture was part of the 10th EMN Educational Seminar on Migration 2024 entitled “Demystifying Migration and Harnessing Its Power”. We recommend following the lecture together with its presentation which you can find together with all podcasts from the seminar at www.emnseminar.sk.
