Time: 6:00 – 8:00 pm
Venue: The event will take place online. Participants will receive the access data by e-mail one day before the event.

Description:

Observing and documenting human rights violations in the Mediterranean is one of the central tasks on a mission, alongside saving human lives. What is happening on the ground? Where are people in distress at sea? Which actors are present? Who disturbs, obstructs or endangers missions?

This workshop shows how to deal with these and other questions. In addition, quantitative questionnaires and other tools of the human rights observer will be presented in order to enable a long-term and scientific examination of the issues of fleeing and migration.
