This paper explores the space of conviviality between newcomers and host communities exemplifying the author’s way as a researcher to be at the same time an activist in Italy. The author investigates her position as an adult educator and researcher to focus on how the informal process of research on adult education has a ‘transformative’ effect at the meso (social) level dimension of interaction. Group experience is life experience and food is one of the most powerful connective tools humans have: it stimulates all of the senses, evokes deep memories and connects one with the wider system of interaction and complexity. In this meso-level dimension newcomers and native citizens interconnected their senses through sharing food. The paper includes different languages and styles: autoethnographic field notes of informal conversations between migrants and Italians involved in the research, transcriptions of dialogues and correspondence with research participants and photos taken during the field of research. All texts and images are analyzed to imagine new forms of embodied research in adult education.

Aim. This study aims to provide insight into people’s perception of hate speech against migrants in the context of human values. Understanding how individuals perceive and respond to hate speech is crucial in addressing this issue. Method. A representative sample of Slovak inhabitants (N=649) based on quota characteristics for gender, age, and education was presented with a set of 20 randomly selected comments, containing different levels of hate speech. The participants evaluated the character of the text, i.e., it is/is not a hate speech, and their level of agreement with the text. The Schwartz Value Orientation Questionnaire (PVQ 21) was used to measure value orientation. Data processing was performed in R programming, using descriptive statistics and Pearson’s correlations. A radar chart as a graphical method of displaying multivariate data was used. Results. The results point to differences in the perception of hate speech in relation to human values. Individuals with a high score in traditional values (i.e., respect for traditional culture) perceived hate speech differently compared to individuals with a high score in universalism (i.e., tolerance and protection for the welfare of all people). Individuals preferring the value of security (i.e., personal, national security) proved to be more tolerant of hate speech on the Internet. The study highlights the need for public and scholarly discussions, and intervention programs tackling online hate speech against migrants.

The author performs an analysis of what position should the parish pastoral ministry take on a problem of receiving migrants in the period of rising migration movements. He recalls sample data on the number of migrants in Poland in order to present the scale of the problem. On the basis of selected biblical texts and the teachings of the Church the author presents theological motives of pastoral care for migrants, which are, among other things, imitation of Godʼs love for people, dignity of each man created in the image and likeness of God and unity of the human family. Moreover, he emphasises that the Church and hence every single parish is a Catholic community, which means universal, thus open to each believer regardless of race and place of origin. It is to be “home open to everyone”, also a hospitable environment for people from beyond Christianity and to create “a culture of encounter”. Important pastoral tasks are telling the truth about the situation of migrants and overcoming barriers impeding their reception, further acknowledging abundant wealth, which they can bring to the life of the Church and the society. The author provides with examples of practical pastoral initiatives, which a parish can and should undertake for the admission of migrants. These are, among other things, raising this problem in preaching and catechesis, involving incomers in liturgical and prayer life, inviting them to parish groups meetings in order to witness to each other.

The Catholic Church is a universal community. Therefore, the Catholic Church cares of people living outside their homeland. The primary objective of the structures of pastoral care of migrants is the integration of immigrants into the local community. The pastoral care of migrants should be adapted to the migrants needs, their culture and traditions. The pastoral care of migrants operates at three levels: the universal, the particular and the local. According to the Catholic Church migration is an international problem that should be resolved with the cooperation of all countries. The issue of cultural differences between migrants and local communities, should mitigate through learning of basic human rights.

The author presents three excerpts from the reports of cycling travel in Poland in the years 2008–2011, contained in the “Bicycle Journals”. They contain descriptions of meetings with Poles who, as a result of political change in the areas of eastern Poland after 1945, were forcibly resettled in central, or north-western and western parts of Poland within its current borders. The direct accounts of the participants of the events show the complicated political background of Poland, Europe and the world after the Second World War, as well as the dramatic fate of the individuals.

The paper presents thematic analyses relating to migration processes, situated between the Legacy of the Past and Challenges of the Future. The authors focus on a complex migration process referring to key factors that characterise it as well as dominant concepts in host societies: segregation and integration. The theoretical considerations undertaken in the text are primarily oriented towards presenting the diverse situation of Migrant Children and Youth “On the Move” as a category of the young generation affected by migration processes. The text is an attempt to reflect on the functioning of migrant backgrounds in the context of children’s and adolescents’ integration with the new place of residence. Particular attention was drawn to fragile areas generating distance, social exclusion and consequently hindering the process of integration.

The rescue of shipwrecked and other persons at sea is since the 19th century considered as one of the main duties in the international law, without any exceptions. It was confirmed also in several treaties: in International Convention for the Safety of Life at Sea, in United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea etc. During the recent migration wave over the Mediterranean sea in 2014–2016, we witnessed several mostly populist requisitions to question this duty. However, provisions of the law of the sea stipulate a duty to render assistance to all persons in dangerous situation at sea. They do not distinguish between causes of such situations, because from a board of a rescue ship it is not possible to judge the situation and its causes objectively. The values of our civilization hardly allow us to issue a command to stop the rescue of people at sea, if it is obvious that without assistance they will die. This is also applicable in the case of “fake shipwrecking”. However an obligation to rescue even an illegal migrant at sea must not be interpreted as the right to be transported to the European soil or as the right to stay and to live in the EU. On the other hand, critics of “rescuing of migrants” were partially successful due to a social pressure in mass-media, politics and elections. European states started to seek ways how to reduce a tide of migrants and how to stop their stream over Mediterranean sea. An original generous extensive interpretation of their duties from international law was replaced by literal or restrictive ones. It confirms that states do not prefer their humanitarian obligation over their own politic interests. Rescue operations have been reduced only to sea sectors of European states and the EU financed a reconstruction of Libyan coastguard which transfers rescued migrants back to Africa.

Theoretical background: Job loss is considered a stressful personal experience that may have a negative impact on an individual’s life. The rapidly increasing unemployment rate is not only a private matter but also a public concern entailing negative socio-economic consequences.Purpose of the article: This research aimed to provide a better understanding of the experiences of migrants who lost jobs during the COVID-19 pandemic in Poland.Research methods: The specific research questions that guided this study were: “What was the experience of job loss for the migrants who worked in Poland during the pandemic?”, “What were the coping strategies and how were they affected by COVID-19?”. The interview texts were analyzed using thematic analysis. A purposeful sampling strategy was supplied with snowball sampling. Semi-structured interviews were conducted with 5 participants.Main findings: Respondents applied several coping techniques, starting with finding a new job, emphasizing positive aspects, and keeping busy with self-development activities adjusted to pandemic restrictions. The pandemic has not forced any respondent to give up any particular way of coping with job loss, even in terms of social support, despite the risk of infection and the government’s recommendation to isolate. Respondents reported also a very limited inflence of pandemic on their job searching process, with the only difference to the detriment of non-EU migrants, who noted the emerging reluctance of employers to deal with visa and residence permit bureaucracy.

In the article deals with the problem of the "invisibility" of Poles in Germany. In this way, West Germany has been writing and talking about Polish migrants for several years. Their "invisibility" is supposed to result from trouble-free integration, placed as a role model for others. In fact, this is an expression of one-sided integration so far, which, to be complete, should become a two-way process, more engaging with members of the host society. In the text, I analyze, what "invisibility" means, how it manifests itself, what migrants think about it, and what are its positive and negative aspects. I also consider whether there are opportunities to "come out of the shadows" and what Poles have a chance to achieve through this. The article is based on qualitative research (interviews and observations) carried out as part of two research projects focused on the phenomenon of integration of Polish migrants in Germany

The paper presents the document Guidelines for Polish-language Pastoral Care in Germany, which was prepared by the German and Polish Episcopal Conferences. This joint document, signed on 17 September 2001, is analysed in the context of the provisions included in the instruction Erga migrantes caritas Christi issued by the Pontifical Council for the Pastoral Care of Migrants and Itinerant People on 3 May 2004. At the beginning of the paper, the author presents a brief history of Polish-language pastoral care in Germany. The successive parts of the Guidelines are then discussed: the preamble, the task and purpose of Polish-language pastoral care, the function of the delegate, pastors and vicars of Polish-language Catholic missions, lay people in Polish-language Catholic missions. Each of these parts is presented in the light of the Erga migrantes instruction. An analysis of both documents clearly shows their consistency and the fact that the Guidelines implement the objectives of the subsequently published Erga migrantes instruction.

The author compares the attitude of the German and Polish episcopates to the problem of the reception of migrants. In both cases the fi rst historical aspect together with statistical data, then the doctrinal position and specifi c involvement is presented. The analyses enable to establish that both episcopates equally feel responsibility for migrants and equally commit themselves to assistance for them. Some diff erences can be noticed in practical realization of doctrinal assumptions. They are connected with diff erent quantities of migrants coming to these countries, with countries of their origin and with practical possibilities of both countries and Churches. Repeated conviction that Poland is against the reception of emigrants rises out of ignorance how Poland helps to her repatriates, to migrants from former Soviet republics, from Near East and Africa. There are already about 1,5 million migrants in Poland.

Autor porównuje stanowiska episkopatu Niemiec i Polski wobec problemu przyjmowania migrantów. W obydwu przypadkach zostaje najpierw przedstawiony aspekt historyczny wraz z danymi statystycznymi, następnie stanowisko doktrynalne i konkretne formy zaangażowania. Przeprowadzone analizy pozwalają stwierdzić, że obydwa episkopaty w jednakowym stopniu czują się odpowiedzialne za migrantów i w jednakowym stopniu angażują się w dzieła pomocy. Pewne różnice można zauważyć w zakresie praktycznej realizacji założeń doktrynalnych. Są one związane z różną liczbą napływających do tych krajów migrantów, z krajami ich pochodzenia oraz praktycznymi możliwościami obydwu krajów i Kościołów. Powtarzane przekonanie, że Polska jest przeciwna przyjmowaniu emigrantów wynika z niewiedzy o tym, w jakim stopniu Polska pomaga swoim repatriantom, migrantom z byłych republik radzieckich, z Bliskiego Wschodu i Afryki, a przebywa ich już w Polsce około 1,5 miliona.

In this contribution, we intend to examine to what extent multiliteracy approaches make it possible to emphasize and develop various aspects of reflexivity in action in a migrant student who is in close contact with several languages within his family and school environment. To answer the source question, we gathered a corpus of various graphic and verbal signs among secondary school multilingual students that we analyzed according to a qualitative approach in the migratory and educational context of Saint-Étienne (France). It is about student output resulting from a school project that aimed at strengthening the students’ literacy competences, along with highlighting their native cultures and languages. As a reflexive tool, the depicted project turned out to be a bridge towards a multi-literacy approach, for which we have detailed the guidelines, beneficial for the learning of the French language, or the learning of any new language; it entails supporting the making of the subject in writing, then allowing an updating of the migratory experience.

The migrant crisis is an imposed problem that requires a thorough solution. The complete understanding of the reasons for migration, as well as the situation in the Mediterranean basin and in the Middle East is a precondition for finding appropriate solutions. Eradication of poverty and disparity, the fight against terrorism and the ISIS extremism as well as the fight against other similar groups are just a fraction of the necessary preconditions for a successful dealing with the current challenges. The solution to the drama with the infinite wave of migrants from Syria and the Middle East, to which we are sad observers, seems is not to be seen soon. First of all, if we look at the European political elite and the general lack of a reliable and clear strategy for solving this problem, all we will see is helplessness and mutual accusations. The migrant or the refugee crisis is followed by a large number of incidents or series of events. The massive arrival of refugees in the European Union, usually illegal migrants from Asia, Africa and parts of Southeastern Europe, started in the mid of 2010 and escalated in 2015. The reasons for the mass arrival are traditionally associated with the chronic unemployment and poverty in these countries, but lately, are also result of the war, especially in Syria, where the civil war caused massive exodus of the population. The situation is similar in Libya, where the fall of Moamer Gaddafi’s regime led to anarchy, used by the well-organized networks of human traffickers. By mid-2015, the refugee crisis mainly took place on the Mediterranean coast of Italy, where refugees were arriving by ships and boats. In many cases, such attempts were futile and led to mass deaths. Lately, there has been a massive influx of refugees and migrants in the Balkans, using Greece and Croatia, EU member countries on the periphery of the Union, as entry point. But also, The Republic of Macedonia and the Republic of Serbia, candidate countries for the EU, are not bypassed. Although the European political establishment met the refugees with sympathy and as victims of the horrors of war that EU needs to provide shelter for, in time, the attitude toward the refugees became subject to fierce criticism by part of the European public. Concerns about the additional burdening of the social services, worsening of the security situation or the possible disappearance of the Christian identity of Europe due to the massive influx of Muslims from war areas in the Middle East arose. Recently, the attitude toward the migrants became the subject of a heated debate - dispute between some European countries, especially between Germany, which insists on “open door” policy and Hungary, Slovakia and Poland, which claim that their countries will suffer consequences due to such policy. The refugee-migrant crisis is a threat in several aspects and already has influence on the economic and social stability as well as internal security in the countries through which the migrants transit or remain, including the Republic of Macedonia. The busiest western – Balkan route used for arrival in the Schengen zone, especially in Germany, Sweden and other western and Nordic countries, brings negative influence visible in the social aspect, genuine threat to the national identity (culture, language, religion) and such endangerment inevitably will lead to an increased incidence of xenophobia, nationalism and racism. At the end, conditions for emergence of social disintegration will be created in the countries through which the migrants transit or remain, including the Republic of Macedonia. The economic stability, being crucial for a social stability, but also, for internal security, will be affected due to the use of additional resources and capacities (accommodation, health, communal services, transport and education) that the affected countries, including the Republic of Macedonia, should provide and set in function due to the newly arisen situation.

The present study deals with the ways and forms of using the topic of migration for the benefit of political interests. It focuses on how the political scene empowers the theme of migration. Anthropology monitors the causes and forms of migration, its effects, examines the products of the majority – minority interaction, the reflection of migrants in public debate. Our aim will be to clarify how anthropology responds to political and media discussions on migration, how it engages and how it transforms under their influence. Several examples can also be identified in Slovakia. Slovak scientists participate in the „making“ of applied anthropology individually or in groups as an academic community or part of it. Their reaction, interest and commitment is essential.

The study indicates that migratory movements are one of the fundamental values of life and culture of civilization. The heritage of the past is rich, revealing their scale, consequences, opportunities and barriers to development. Since the end of the 18th century, migrations have been deeply involved in the political life of each country and international environment. A new cultural dimension is associated in fact with the global formation of civil society, in the process of the simultaneously occurring unification and diversification of cultural life. The image of the migration life clearly involves the presence of Poland and Polish people both in terms of migrants and immigrants.

Men and women, who leave their countries, their families, their education and their work to undertake a journey. Some fleeing war, others terrorism, others poverty; looking for solutions, for themselves or for their loved ones. Some need medical care that they cannot access in their home country. Each one has their own story and we simply do not know enough about them. Immigrants’ life histories can provide us with a lot of useful information that can help us understand the contemporary phenomenon of migration from pedagogical, sociological and economic points of view. The paths and trajectories of entire communities remain unknown, their needs unheard and the enormous wealth in terms of the relationships, the level of mutual help and the competences is neither brought to light nor properly evaluated. This paper, born of a series of biographical interviews carried out with adult immigrants from countries in West Africa, reflects on the relationship between education, work, and the communities to which the immigrants belong.

The purpose of this article is to present the vocabulary describing migrants over the history of the Polish language. The author conducts quantitative analysis and describes chosen expressions. The research material consists of 73 lexemes collected from 12 dictionaries of the Polish language. It should be emphasized that the dictionaries mentioned contain both Old Polish and modern lexemes. The emphasis here was placed on the examples found in three dictionaries: „Słownik języka polskiego” edited by Zdanowicz et al. (19th century), „Słownik języka polskiego” by Jan Karłowicz, Adam Kryński and Władysław Niedźwiedzki (20th century) and „Słownik języka polskiego” edited by Witold Doroszewski (20th century). The dictionaries mentioned above contain the largest number of names referring to migrants. The considerations presented in this paper not only refer to the lexical level, but also to historical and societal motivations that have contributed to the emergence of new terms of this kind.

In the middle of the 16th century many people left the Low Countries for England as a result of religious persecution and economic hardship. Several thousand of these people, mainly from the Southern Netherlands, went to Norwich, the second largest city in England. Some of them wrote letters to friends and family members whom they left behind in the Low Countries, which indicate that they valued the religious freedom and economic opportunities in Norwich. This suggests that they had a positive image of the local English people. However, if one looks at official English documents, the picture is more mixed. While some English valued the economic contribution that the migrants made, others were concerned about the effect on the local workforce, and measures were taken to restrict their economic activities. Furthermore, some people in Norwich had Catholic sympathies and this was an important motivating factor in a plot to eject the migrants from the city, which ultimately failed. In short, this article uses the situation in Norwich in the late 16th century as a case study for exploring how different sources can create contrasting images of how one group of people views another.
