Developing Capacities Together

What is it about?

“Developing capacities together-InterCap” addressed the emerging concerns about the shifting public perceptions of (in)security and risk with regards to migration and sustainable development. It established networks connecting civil society organisations (CSOs) and universities, built the capacities of education actors and promoted global learning on migration, security and sustainable development in an interdependent world. “Developing capacities together” worked with teachers and decision makers, teacher trainers, teachers and students, to enhance their critical understanding of the causes and effects of migration, addressing issues of misinformation and negative representations.
