Migrations: historical and conceptual perspectives and analysis of contemporary phenomena, under the theme World in Motion: individuals and society, is one of the projects embraced by the Institutional Project of Internationalization – PUCRS PrInt. PUCRS was one of the 36 institutions that was selected by Capes’ Institutional Program of Internationalization (PrInt). It congregates History, Philosophy, Education, Theology and Psychology researchers, in partnership with universities abroad, in an effort to address historical issues associated with human mobility. It also seeks to address transcultural as well as identity and health aspects resulting from an individual being a migrant or refugee and which have commonly been observed over the course of history. In four years, the project intends to reach out to European and American dedicated scholars.

“Migrations are privileged phenomena in that we can see changes in contemporary societies, in social networks and right to citizenship as well as the integration of youth into a new form of entrepreneurship” says School of Humanities professor Dr Antonio de Ruggiero, who coordinates the project.
