Based on Al Galidi's autobiographic account, students reflected upon the practical application of the EU asylum policy, system and mechanisms at one entry gate of Europe - the airport of Schipol. They studied the discrepencies between the EU policy and street-level bureaucrats' decision, and put themselves in the shoes of an external consultant to review those practices.

European Asylum policies.
10 Outubro 2025, 15:30 • Alina Isabel Pereira Esteves
This class
focused on European Asylum policies. Students gathered in small groups to work
on the four “chapters” of the class, and presented them to fellow students. The
first group worked on international protection, its definition and legal
frameworks. A second group worked on the distribution of asylum seekers,
refugees and other individuals protected by international law across the EU. A
third group worked on the Dublin regulation and the debates occurring between
2015 and 2018. The conclusions were explored altogether.
