Come hear about this unique opportunity in which students learn more about migration policies in the European Union and Portugal, gaining insights on the refugee crisis and human trafficking. The trip focuses on the diverse definitions and types of migration and human trafficking in order to introduce students to the multidimensional aspects of these phenomena. In Portugal, students will be able to examine the factors that increase certain populations' vulnerability to trafficking, with a particular emphasis on gender, race and ethnicity, and age.
