Discover what participants from the first two editions had to say about their experience at the winter school. Read how they experienced the academic programme, engaging discussions, hands-on activities and inspiring exchanges with fellow participants.
The winter school on European Solidarity in the Making was an excellent programme for researchers and practitioners interested in migration, but also migration policies, social policies of the EU and the EU as a supranational organization. The content of the course was wide-reaching and interesting, the lectures and workshops were highly engaging. The programme was very intensive, but enjoyable.

The winter school named “European solidarity in the making” was a very stimulating and instructive experience to me. Not only from an academic point of view, but also from an informal and personal perspective. Simply reflecting on the students’ diverse backgrounds and the influence this had on their approach to the topic was extremely interesting. In my opinion, the service-learning activities were the best part of the programme: we actually got to experience what we were discussing.

As a Filipino demography student, this programme really meant a lot to me. It connected theory on solidarity and migration to real lived experiences, which aligns closely with my work on life course and migration studies. I appreciated how open and thoughtful the space was. It challenged my perspectives and honestly made me consider pursuing further studies in Belgium.
