Migrants rights – capacity building (FAIR PLUS)

FORUM, together with four other European partners: International Commission of Jurists (Belgium) – project coordinator, Scuola Superiore di Studi Universitari e di Perfezionamento Sant’Anna (Italy), Immigrant Council of Ireland (Ireland), Greek Council of Refugees (Greece) implemented a Europe-wide three-year (2018–2021) project called FAIR PLUS: Fostering Access to Immigrant’s Rights – Practical training for Lawyers and judges.

In the framework of the project, together with our partners, we organised a series of trainings for judges, lawyers, and other professionals in various areas of the rights of people on the move. Thanks to the training, the networks and cooperation between the participants were strengthened, and experiences and good practices in the field of protection of the rights of people on the move were exchanged, both at national and international levels. Below is the list of trainings organised within the FAIR PLUS project and their programmes:

FAIR seminar for lawyers and attorneys: Current Issues in Asylum and Aliens Law (online, 29. 9. 2020)
Conference for Judges: Selected Issues of Asylum and Aliens Law from an International and National Perspective (online, 22. – 23. 3. 2021, in cooperation with Judicial Academy of the Czech Republic)
Transnational seminar for judges from the Czech Republic and Ireland: Procedural guarantees for foreign nationals and applicants for international protection (online, 5. – 6. 10. 2021)
