Connecting and Sharing Learning from Global Migration Research

Explore research approaches and global contexts of migration

Migration is a complex and evolving issue that shapes lives and societies across the globe. On this three-week interactive course, you’ll explore the diverse research methods and practices that inform our understanding of migration and wellbeing.

Through shared case studies and international collaboration, you’ll expand your awareness of global migration dynamics and their impact on individuals and communities.

Share tools, methods, and media for collective insight

Connect with educators, artists, activists and researchers to share knowledge and co-create learning. You’ll explore innovative ways to communicate research findings in collaboration with partners such as the Royal Geographical Society.

Explore how collaborative storytelling and community engagement can help shift public discourse, build inclusive practices, and develop creative approaches to influencing policy and social understanding.

Amplify your network and increase research impact

You’ll discover how to turn research into action by developing impactful partnerships and improving knowledge exchange strategies. Explore how to maximise your work’s reach across policy, education, and the media.

Develop a richer understanding of global migration research, a toolkit of shared resources, and a growing community of collaborators committed to socially engaged, policy-relevant work.

Build an interactive network for ongoing knowledge exchange

Grow your skills in a collaborative learning zone—designed to support interaction and knowledge-sharing among researchers, educators, practitioners, and creatives.

By the end of the course, you’ll have practical ideas for maximising your research impact and joining an active network of collaborators working at the intersection of migration and wellbeing.

This course is for researchers, educators, activists, and artists working on migration and wellbeing. It’s also suitable for teachers, undergraduates, postgraduates, and civil society professionals engaging with migration-related topics.
