In preparation for the World Day of Migrants and Refugees, to be celebrated on September 24, 2023, we are pleased to announce the opening of registration for the training course “Free to choose whether to migrate or to stay” Pastoral care with migrants and refugees. 

Organized by the International Union of Superiors General (UISG) and the Scalabrini International Migration Institute (SIMI) and promoted by the Dicastery for Promoting Integral Human Development, the course is aimed at women religious who wish to learn more about the issues or want to be trained to serve migrants, refugees and/or asylum seekers, internally displaced persons, victims of trafficking, itinerants and their families. The training sessions will introduce the phenomenology of the migratory phenomenon, the international legal framework of human rights and will focus on the responses that the Church can provide.
