Conference methodology

Thematic Groups

These are spaces for exchange and dialog between ICoMiR participants, based on their different profiles. Each Thematic Group will have a coordinator and one or two facilitators, responsible for giving an introductory speech that introduces the topic and motivates the debate. The aim is to stimulate reflection on relevant elements for understanding migration and refuge, in accordance with the theme of each Group, as well as their contributions and their potential to influence the humanization and appreciation of migrants and refugees, their existence and their struggles.

Colloquium

The colloquium is a space at ICoMiR dedicated to dialog and the exchange of ideas, in a practical exercise to think about an inclusive and welcoming model of society for people on the move. It is structured around three rounds of debate with guiding questions, conducted dynamically by two facilitators who organize the distribution of the floor among a diverse group of participants - migrant/refugee leaders, representatives of Civil Society Organizations, academics, as well as governmental organizations or international bodies.
