It was organized on 8th and 9th December 2019 (Crowne Plaza Athens, hotel) by the <strong>DAISSy Research Group of the Hellenic Open University (HOU)<\/strong>, within the framework of the implementation of the <strong>&#8221;WEMIN: Migrant Women Empowerment and Integration\u201d<\/strong> EU project. It triggered the interest of scholars, experts and practitioners, representatives of authorities, national and international institutions, organizations and associations, active citizens, and more generally anyone involved in the study, research and practice in the fields of migration, migration policy, empowerment and social integration of refugees.<\/p>\n<p>More precisely, the conference included almost fifty speakers, was attended by one hundred and fifty participants and explored the gendered dimensions of the migration phenomenon in the context of today&#8217;s Europe. Recognizing gender as an integral part of the experience, management, and understanding of migration and integration processes, the conference achieved to highlight not only the multiple challenges but also the significant opportunities European societies face. A variety of topics were addressed during the presentations, such as challenges and good practices for the integration of Migrant and Refugee Women (MRW), adult migrants\u2019 education from a gender sensitive perspective, politics-migration-gender roles and representations, opportunities about working life and social life of MRW, gender-based violence and migration, art and gendered experiences of migration and integration, etc.<\/p>\n<p>The international conference was the final closing event of the two-year WEMIN project implementation and so, it was well designed for promoting the project results and outputs. This was managed through the presentations, the roundtable discussions and workshops that provided all participants with the opportunity to exchange opinions and experiences. Emphasis was placed to the MRW themselves, as representatives of them from all partner countries joined the conference, spoke up themselves about their experiences and shared their feelings and ideas during the conference discussions. Moreover, the experts\u2019 insights brought to the fore the challenges of the integration process on various levels, from the local to the international, from the structured policy-making to innovative best practices, from recorded problems to identified solutions.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Undoubtedly, the international conference entitled &#8221;Women in Displacement: Gender, Migration and the Challenges of Integration in today\u2019s Europe&#8221;, was a very successful event!
