During their five days in Italy (3 in Venice and 2 in Parma), students were introduced to key concepts related to the precarious housing of migrants including legal status, lack of affordable housing, and racism in their host countries. Lectures were given by scholars from the PusH partner institutions to help set the foundation for their workshops, fieldwork, and meetings with stakeholders.
