Lecturer on this important issue that affects all countries in Europe and around the world was Laura Thompson - Deputy Director General of the International Organization for Migration.
In her lecture she presented data of authoritative international organizations, from which one can easily infer trends globally, as the main conclusion seems to be that the 21st century is the century of migration. "Human mobility today is a pronounced phenomenon, it is a phenomenon that is present everywhere, in all directions," Laura Thompson stressed in her lecture, adding:
Data of the International Organization for Migration indicates that 60 million people have moved to live in another place because of political conflicts in their hometowns. For the first time there are such high levels of emigration after World War II.
