ODL: Affirming Diversity through Migration
The main object of this Socrates/ Minerva project is to develop an Open
and Distance Learning (ODL) environment to support the teaching and understanding
of the present European situation of migration. By combining their expertise
in migration history and sociology with their knowledge of ODL and multimedia,
the partners will help the younger generation identify with the problems
and feelings of today´s newcomers through understanding and empathy.
The project have partners in Norway, Ireland and Portugal representing
colleges or universities, research institutions and schools. The Emigration
Center participates in this important work, which is headed by the Portuguese
Open University. For more information, please visit
