Meeting Description: 

The overarching aim of ProLanguage Meeting ''Language in global migration:
policies and practices of inclusion'' is to address how language and language
policies in and around refugee camps, can enhance their physical and mental
health, act as social protection, enhance their chances for mobility, and
facilitate their integration into the destination society. This is
particularly important for children because early wellbeing is a crucial
predictor of later outcomes in life. The meeting adopts a cross-disciplinary
approach. Academic and non-academic organisations will bring their experiences
to the table, provide input on the situation, identify good and bad practice,
identify priorities as well as training needs that promise to make a
difference.
