Noored Ühiskonna Heaks (NYH) is promoting a call for participants for a Training Course called Waves of Migration” which will take place from 17thuntil 24th October 2017 in Seinajoki, Finland.
Migration is a global phenomenon that has affected peoples and societies all over the world for centuries. The World has gone through a number of migration periods. In the modern times, the earliest period of migration, called the ‘mercantile period’ lasted from 15th until 18th century. It was characterised by colonisation of the Americas, Africa, Asia, Australia and Oceania by European powers and forced migration within between these continents.

Today’s Europe absorbs two million migrants each year – more than any other part of the world (as a proportion of its population), including North America. This migration flow changes the make-up of European societies – more so than birth rates or death rates. Increased migration into Europe is part of a global trend. Cheaper travel and more information encourage skilled and unskilled workers from poorer countries to migrate to richer ones.

It a training course that aims to support the professional development of youth workers and to raise the quality of their projects concerning Migration and Mobility projects
