Location: Hotel Barcelona / Room Belém

Description:

• [EN] Getting Started in a New Country: Developing Policies and Practices to Promote the Integration and Employment of Refugees and Migrants: Strengthening the Evidence Base: There are contradictory trends in migration to Europe today. A small proportion of these immigrants are refugees, and the integration and social inclusion of these refugees are a challenge. This workshop will discuss early work-focused introduction strategies as well as language training, considered to be a better way to “rebuild” lives. Integration of refugees can also be improved through the interaction of government programmes, NGO programmes and enterprises, and this will be examined.

• [FR] Nouveau départ dans un pays d’accueil : Élaboration des politiques et des pratiques visant à promouvoir l’intégration et l’emploi des réfugiés et des immigrants – Renforcer nos acquis: Les migrations dans l’Europe contemporaine présentent des tendances contradictoires. En effet, parmi les immigrants, les réfugiés représentent un faible taux dont l’intégration et l’inclusion sociales se posent en défi. Dans cet atelier, nous aborderons les stratégies visant essentiellement à l’insertion rapide au monde du travail; nous examinerons également l’apprentissage de la langue que l’on considère comme le meilleur moyen pour eux de reconstruire leur vie. L’intégration des réfugiés peut également être facilitée par les entreprises, ainsi que l’action conjointe des programmes mis en place par les gouvernements et les ONG; nous examinerons tous ces éléments.

• [PT] Começar de novo num novo país: o desenvolvimento de políticas e práticas com vista à promoção da integração e do emprego de refugiados e imigrantes : reforçar a base de conhecimentos: Os movimentos migratórios na Europa contemporânea caracterizam-se por diversas contradições.

Este workshop incidirá sobre as estratégias que visam a inserção rápida no mundo do trabalho e o ensino da língua, consideradas as melhores formas destes imigrantes reconstruírem as suas vidas. A integração dos refugiados pode também ser facilitada pela interacção entre programas governamentais, ONGs e empresas - aspectos que serão também analisados neste workshop.

Location:  Hotel Barcelona / Room Benfica

Description:

• [EN] Interpretations of and Policies toward Concentrated Immigrant Poverty: Residential segregation of immigrants and minorities is long-established, but has recently become associated with pressing scholarly and policy issues. Specialists from Europe and North America will consider immigrant segregation, concentrated minority group poverty, policy responses and the bases of new anxieties about potential development of subcultures of hostile difference.

• [FR] Interprétations de la concentration de la pauvreté chez les immigrants et des politiques afférentes: La ségrégation résidentielle des immigrants et des minorités existe depuis longtemps. Dernièrement, elle a cependant été associée à des questions urgentes liées à l’éducation et aux politiques. Des spécialistes d’Europe et d’Amérique du Nord se penchent sur la ségrégation des immigrants, la concentration de la pauvreté chez les groupes minoritaires, les mesures politiques et les fondements des nouvelles préoccupations concernant le développement potentiel de sous-cultures de différence hostile.

• [PT] Interpretações e Políticas Relativas à Concentração da Pobreza Imigrante: A segregação residencial de imigrantes e minorias é há muito uma realidade, mas passou recentemente a estar associada a diversas questões políticas e científicas prementes. Vários especialistas da Europa e América do Norte debruçar-se-ão sobre a segregação dos imigrantes, a concentração da pobreza dos grupos minoritários, as respostas políticas e os fundamentos dos recentes receios relativos à potencial emergência de subculturas da diferença caracterizadas pela hostilidade.

30 > Irregular Migration and Migration Policies

Date: Thursday, 5 October | jeudi, 5 octobre | 5ª-feira, dia 5 de Outubro

Location:  Hotel Barcelona / Room Madragoa

Description:

• [EN] Irregular Migration and Migration Policies: Although all EU countries have been practising restrictive migratory policies for years, irregular migration nonetheless constitutes a structural feature of the migration landscape in most, if not all, countries (?). Whereas some writers attribute this situation to the result of a crisis in immigration control, others emphasise the successful contravention of immigration policies by the clandestine migration industry. Papers addressing the ways in which states handle irregular migration or relate to it within their borders will be presented in this session.

• [FR] Migrations clandestines et politiques d’immigration: Bien que tous les pays de l’UE appliquent depuis des années des politiques d’immigration restrictives, l’immigration clandestine constitue néanmoins un aspect structurel du phénomène migratoire dans la plupart de ces pays, sinon tous. Certains observateurs attribuent cette situation à la crise du contrôle de l’immigration, quand d’autres soulignent la réussite de l’industrie des migrations clandestines qui parvient à tenir en échec les politiques d’immigration. Seront présentées lors de cette séance, les études portant sur les instruments dont disposent les États pour contrer l’immigration clandestine ou la traiter au sein de leurs frontières. 

• [PT] Migrações Clandestinas e Políticas Migratórias: Embora todos os países da UE tenham há anos adoptado políticas migratórias restritivas, as migrações clandestinas constituem uma característica estrutural da paisagem migratória em muitos, senão todos, esses países. Enquanto que alguns autores atribuem esta situação a uma crise ao nível do controle das fronteiras, outros sublinham a capacidade das indústrias de contrabando e tráfico de migrantes clandestinos contornarem com sucesso as políticas migratórias em vigor. Nesta sessão, serão apresentadas comunicações que incidirão sobre as formas como os Estados lidam com a imigração clandestina ou se relacionam com ela no interior das suas fronteiras.

Location:  Hotel Holiday Inn Continental / Room 1

Description:

• [EN] From Dialogue to Decision: International Common Ground on Migration and Development? International agreements linking migration and development have proven a difficult enterprise due in large part to the numerous ways that these concepts are linked in different geographical locations. Using examples from South Africa, Sub-Saharan Africa and the Americas, this workshop will seek to illuminate the key challenges for reaching international agreements and identifying potential common ground for doing so.

• [FR] From Dialogue to Decision: International Common Ground on Migration and Development? La mise en oeuvre d’accords internationaux concernant à la fois l’immigration et le développement s’est révélée ardue, surtout en raison de la diversité des liens qui unissent ces deux notions dans différents lieux. Cet atelier vise, par l’utilisation d’exemples provenant des pays d’Afrique du Sud, de l’Afrique subsaharienne et des Amériques, à mettre en lumière les principaux obstacles qui s’opposent à la conclusion d’accords internationaux et à la détermination d’arguments communs justifiant la conclusion de tels accords.

• [PT] From Dialogue to Decision: International Common Ground on Migration and Development? A adopção de acordos internacionais na área das migrações e desenvolvimento tem-se revelado uma tarefa difícil, o que em grande medida se deve às numerosas e diversificadas formas segundo as quais estes dois conceitos estão ligados nos diferentes contextos geográficos. Recorrendo a exemplos provenientes da África do Sul, da África Subsariana e do continente Americano, este workshop procurará identificar os principais desafios associados à elaboração e implementação de acordos internacionais nesta área, bem como a potencial viabilidade desses mesmos acordos.

Location:  Hotel Barcelona / Room Alfama

Description:

• [EN] Measuring International Migration: Data from Both Sides of the Border: Traditionally, governments rely on the expertise of their own national statistical offices (NSOs) to measure international migration. This workshop will explore how governments can expand their approach by including information from “both sides of the border” as well as how NSOs can improve their methods and estimates of international migration by working with international counterparts and other informed parties.

• [FR] Mesurer les mouvements migratoires internationaux : Cueillette des données dans les pays-sources et les pays d’accueil: Les instances étatiques s’appuient en principe sur l’expertise de leur bureau de statistique national pour mesurer les flux migratoires internationaux. Nous examinerons comment les autorités gouvernementales peuvent élargir leur mode d’action  en traitant l’information provenant de part et d’autre de leurs frontières; par ailleurs, les bureaux de statistique nationaux peuvent affiner leurs méthodes et leurs estimations des mouvements migratoires internationaux en collaborant avec leurs homologues internationaux et autres intervenants informés.

• [PT] A quantificação das migrações internacionais: recolha de dados em países emissores e receptores: Tradicionalmente, os governos dos diversos países têm confiado aos seus próprios organismos e institutos nacionais de estatística a questão da quantificação das migrações internacionais, i.e. imigração e emigração. Este workshop explorará as possibilidades à disposição dos governos no sentido de melhorarem a sua forma de abordar esta questão através da consideração de dados “dos dois lados da fronteira” e debaterá as formas como os organismos e institutos nacionais de estatística podem aperfeiçoar os seus próprios métodos e estimativas das migrações internacionais através da cooperação com instituições congéneres de outros países e outras partes detentoras de informação relevante.

Description:

• [EN] Migrant Associativism: Politics of Identity and the Problematique of Integration: Using case studies and comparative analyses, this workshop will look at migrant voluntary associations in various communities (ex. Portuguese, Cape Verdian, Gypsy, Ukrainian and Russian). The role of the voluntary associations and institutions as mediators between distinct nation-states and regional communities will be discussed, as will the interwoven relations between voluntary associations and public institutions and their contribution to social integration.  This workshop will include researchers, governmental and non-governmental technicians from various countries and from distinctive scientific backgrounds to exchange knowledge, social experiences and practices.

• [FR] L’associativisme des migrants : les politiques liées à l’identité et la problématique de l’intégration: Dans cet atelier on examinera les associations de bénévoles des migrants dans diverses collectivités (p. ex. portugaise, cap‑verdéenne, rom, ukrainienne et russe) au moyen d’études de cas et d’analyses comparatives. Le rôle des associations de bénévoles et des établissements en tant que médiateurs entre les États-nations distincts et les collectivités régionales feront l’objet de discussions, de même que les relations qui ont été tissées entre les associations bénévoles et les établissements publics, et leur contribution à l’intégration sociale. Cet atelier rassemblera des chercheurs ainsi que des techniciens du gouvernement et d’organisations non gouvernementales de différents pays qui possèdent des antécédents scientifiques distincts et échangeront connaissances, expériences et pratiques sociales.

• [PT] O associativismo migrante: a política da identidade e a problemática da integração: Recorrendo a estudos de caso e a análises comparativas, este workshop incidirá sobre a questão do associativismo migrante no seio de diversas comunidades (p.e., portuguesa, caboverdiana, cigana, ucraniana e russa). Discutir-se-á o papel das instituições e associações de imigrantes como mediadoras entre diferentes comunidades nacionais e regionais, bem como a teia de relações entre as associações de imigrantes e as instituições públicas e o seu contributo para a integração social.

Location: Hotel Holiday Inn Lisboa / Room Navegadores

Description:

• [EN] Migrant Organising and Transnational Linkages: Bridging Political and Socio-Economic Engagement: This workshop discusses the ways in which migrants maintain significant social, economic, cultural and political ties with the country of origin and with other migrants living elsewhere have prompted an increasing interest on the emerging patterns of transnational links. These new transnational dynamics have had a major impact on migrants’ integration processes while playing a major role in the reconfiguration of citizenship and belonging in intercultural societies. This workshop will address, specifically, the different patterns of migrants’ collective organising practices, using the experience and the changing activities of migrants’ organisations as key references for the analysis and discussion.

• [FR] L’organisation des migrants et les liens transnationaux : le rapprochement de l’engagement politique et de l’engagement socio‑économique: Cet atelier porte sur les importants liens sociaux, économiques, culturels et politiques maintenus par les immigrants avec leur pays d’origine et avec d’autres immigrants qui se sont établis à d’autres endroits, et sur l’apparition d’un intérêt croissant pour les tendances émergentes en matière de liens transnationaux. Ces nouvelles dynamiques transnationales ont eu des répercussions importantes sur les processus d’intégration des immigrants tout en jouant un rôle important dans la reconfiguration de la citoyenneté et de l’appartenance à des sociétés interculturelles. L’atelier portera plus particulièrement sur les différents modèles relatifs aux pratiques d’organisation collective des migrants, en utilisant l’expérience et les activités changeantes des organisations d’immigrants comme des références clés à des fins d’analyse et de discussion.

• [PT] A mobilização e organização dos migrantes e a formação de laços transnacionais: entre as mobilizações política e socioeconómica: Este workshop analisará os diversos modos como os migrantes estabelecem e mantêm laços sociais, económicos, culturais e políticos significativos com os seus países de origem e com migrantes que residem noutros lugares, debatendo ainda o interesse crescente pelos padrões emergentes de relações transnacionais. Estas novas dinâmicas transnacionais têm tido um impacte muito significativo ao nível dos processos de integração dos migrantes e da reconfiguração dos processos de pertença e cidadania nas sociedades interculturais. Em particular, este workshop analisará os diversos padrões observados ao nível das práticas de organização colectiva dos migrantes, recorrendo para isso às experiências e à evolução das actividades das organizações de migrantes como pontos de partida fundamentais para a análise e discussão.

48 > Migration Reshaping the Landscape of Development: Bridging the Theory-Practice Gap

Date: Wednesday, 4 October | mercredi, 4 octobre | 4ª-feira, dia 4 de Outubro

Location: Hotel Barcelona / Room Madragoa

Description:

• [EN] Migration Reshaping the Landscape of Development: Bridging the Theory-Practice Gap: Development initially tends to coincide with increasing migration, but development initiatives assume that people want to establish livelihoods in places of origin. The goals of top-down development models are not consistent with migration realities in Africa. The workshop will explore these issues and look for strategies for addressing this gap.

• [FR] Mouvements migratoires et impact sur le développement : L’écart à combler entre la théorie et la pratique: Initialement, le développement tend à coïncider avec une hausse de l’émigration. Pourtant, toute initiative de développement part du principe que l’autochtone souhaite trouver des moyens de subsistance sur sa terre natale. Les objectifs des modèles de développement de haut en bas ne correspondent pas à la réalité des migrations africaines. Nous examinerons ces enjeux et nous rechercherons les stratégies susceptibles de combler l’écart.

• [PT] Migrações e desenvolvimento: como colmatar o fosso entre a teoria e a prática: Embora o desenvolvimento tenda a estar inicialmente associado a um aumento das migrações, as iniciativas de desenvolvimento partem do princípio que as pessoas pretendem desenvolver os seus projectos de vida nos locais de origem. Os objectivos dos modelos de desenvolvimento impostos a partir de cima são inconsistentes com a realidade das migrações africanas. Este workshop explorará estas questões e procurará identificar estratégias para colmatar este fosso entre a teoria e a prática.

52 > Optimising International Networks: Carrying Out Joint Research Activities and Communicating Results (Two-part 180-minute workshop. / Workshop de 180 minutos constituído por duas partes de 90 minutos.)

Date: Thursday, 5 October | jeudi, 5 octobre | 5ª-feira, dia 5 de Outubro

Location:  Culturgest / Room 6

Description:

Part I: Carrying Out Joint Research Activities:

• [EN] Optimising International Networks: Carrying Out Joint Research Activities and Communicating Results - Part I: Carrying Out Joint Research Activities: In recent years, a number of research and knowledge networks in the area of migration, asylum and integration have been established, working more or less independently from one another. In order to carry out joint research activities they have had to find ways to co-operate across boundaries and with a variety of institutions and organisations, as well as engaging in documentation activities. In this part of the workshop, we will discuss migration (policy and research) networks including the European Migration Network (EMN), as well as examining good practices related to collaborative research and documentation.

• [FR] Optimaliser les réseaux internationaux : Exécution des activités de recherche conjointes et communication des résultats - Partie I : Exécution des activités de recherche conjointes: Au cours des dernières années, bon nombre de réseaux de recherche et de connaissances dans le domaine de la migration, de l’asile et de l’intégration ont vu le jour et travaillent plus ou moins indépendamment les uns des autres. Afin de pouvoir effectuer des recherches conjointes, ils ont dû trouver des moyens de collaborer au-delà des frontières et avec toute une gamme d’établissements et d’organisations, tout en participant à des activités liées à la documentation. Cette partie de l’atelier porte sur les réseaux de migration (politiques et recherches), y compris le Réseau européen des migrations (REM), et les pratiques exemplaires liées à la recherche conjointe et à la documentation.

• [PT] A optimização das redes internacionais: desenvolvimento de actividades de investigação em parceria e contacto com a opinião pública - Parte I: O desenvolvimento de actividades de investigação em parceria: Nos últimos anos, foram criadas diversas redes de investigação e partilha do conhecimento científico nas áreas das migrações, do asilo e da integração, as quais funcionam de forma mais ou menos independente umas das outras. Com vista ao desenvolvimento de actividades de investigação em parceria, estas redes tiveram de desenvolver formas de cooperação com uma série de instituições e organizações e a nível transfronteiriço, bem como de reforçar a componente das actividades de documentação. Nesta parte do workshop, debater-se-á o exemplo de diversas redes (de investigação científica ou coordenação de políticas) na área das migrações, incluindo a European Migration Network (EMN), e examinar-se-á um conjunto de boas práticas em matéria de actividades de documentação e investigação em parceria.

Part II: Communicating With Policy-makers, the Media and the General Public:

• [EN] Optimising International Networks: Carrying Out Joint Research Activities and Communicating Results - Part II: Communicating With Policy-makers, the Media and the General Public: One key aim of international migration related networks is to communicate knowledge to policy-makers and the general public. In this part of the workshop, we shed light on the various mechanisms that help and hinder these exchanges, on partners that can assist in such exchanges and highlight the often crucial role of the media. This session should lead to the development of a short document containing ideas for fostering successful communication and strategies to overcome communication obstacles between the defined groups.

• [FR] (jeudi, 5 octobre -- 90 minutes) Optimaliser les réseaux internationaux : Exécution des activités de recherche conjointes et communication des résultats - Partie II : Communiquer avec les décideurs, les médias et le public: L’un des principaux buts des réseaux liés à la migration internationale consiste à transmettre les connaissances aux décideurs et au public. Cette partie de l’atelier met en lumière les différents mécanismes qui favorisent et empêchent ces échanges, sur les partenaires qui peuvent aider dans ce type d’échanges et mettre en valeur le rôle souvent crucial des médias. Cette séance devrait déboucher sur l’élaboration d’un court document qui rassemble des idées sur les façons de favoriser une bonne communication ainsi que des stratégies afin de surmonter les obstacles à la communication entre les groupes définis.

• [PT] (5-feira, dia 5 de Outubro -- 90 minutos) A optimização das redes internacionais: desenvolvimento de actividades de investigação em parceria e contacto com a opinião pública - Parte II: A comunicação com os decisores políticos, a comunicação social e o público em geral: Um dos objectivos-chave das redes ligadas às migrações internacionais consiste na disseminação de conhecimentos junto dos decisores políticos e do público em geral. Nesta parte do workshop, destacaremos os diversos mecanismos que facilitam ou dificultam esta disseminação e os diversos tipos de parceiros que podem contribuir para esse processo, sublinhando-se o papel muitas vezes fundamental dos meios de comunicação social. Os resultados desta sessão deverão permitir a elaboração de um documento resumido contendo as principais ideias com vista ao estabelecimento de uma estratégia de comunicação eficaz e um conjunto de formas de ultrapassar os obstáculos à comunicação entre os grupos indicados.

• [EN] Politicisation of English for the Selection and Settlement of Citizens: The workshop goal is to critically explore the politicisation of English through national language assessment policies and practices, the impact on immigrant selection, social exclusion and income inequality. In Australia and New Zealand, failure of English language assessment means skilled applicants are excluded from migration eligibility, while Canada maintains more liberal entry procedures.

• [FR] Politisation de l’anglais en vue de la sélection et de l’établissement des citoyens: Cet atelier vise à étudier de façon critique la politisation de l’anglais par le biais de politiques et de pratiques d’évaluation de la langue nationale, les répercussions sur la sélection des immigrants, l’exclusion sociale et l’inégalité des salaires. En Australie et en Nouvelle-Zélande, l’échec de l’évaluation de l’anglais signifie que les demandeurs ne peuvent pas être admissibles à la migration, alors qu’au Canada les procédures d’admission sont beaucoup plus libérales.

• [PT] A politização da língua inglesa na selecção e integração dos cidadãos: O objectivo deste workshop consistirá em analisar de forma crítica a politização da língua inglesa através da apresentação e discussão de diversas políticas e práticas nacionais de avaliação do domínio da língua e dos seus impactes ao nível da selecção dos imigrantes, da exclusão social e da desigualdade de rendimento. Na Austrália e Nova Zelândia, a não aprovação no teste de língua inglesa exclui automaticamente os candidatos qualificados da possibilidade de imigração, enquanto que no Canadá vigoram critérios de entrada mais liberais.

Date: Tuesday, 3 October | mardi, 3 octobre | 3ª-feira, dia 3 de Outubro

Location:  Hotel Holiday Inn Continental / Room 3

Description:

• [EN] Poor Immigrants: Are They Working? In this workshop, presenters from different Canadian and European organisations explore the links between labour market participation and living conditions of new immigrant families. They will discuss the extent of labour market participation of new immigrant families and the extent to which the recognition (or lack of) of qualifications of new immigrants by employers allows them to escape poverty in the short and longer run.

• [FR] Les immigrants pauvres : travaillent‑ils? Lors de cet atelier, des intervenants de différentes organisations canadiennes et européennes exploreront les liens qui existent entre la participation au marché du travail et les conditions de vie des nouvelles familles d’immigrants. Ils se pencheront sur la portée de la participation au marché du travail des nouvelles familles d’immigrants et tenteront de déterminer dans quelle mesure la reconnaissance (ou le manque de reconnaissance) de leurs qualités par les employeurs permet aux nouveaux immigrants d’échapper ou non à la pauvreté à court et à plus long terme.

• [PT] Os imigrantes pobres: qual a sua situação face ao emprego? Neste workshop, representantes de diversas organizações canadianas e europeias explorarão as relações entre a participação no mercado de trabalho e as condições de vida das famílias imigrantes recém-chegadas. Discutir-se-á os níveis de actividade e emprego das famílias imigrantes recém-chegadas, bem como a forma como o reconhecimento (ou não) das competências dos imigrantes recém-chegados por parte dos empregadores lhes permite escapar à pobreza no curto e longo prazos.
