Leiden University hosted our sixth event in Connecting Europe through History – Experiences and Perceptions of Migrations Project. The Europaeum organised a Graduate Research Workshop on Migration, Political Parties & Public Rhetoric in Contemporary Europe on June 3rd - 5th 2010. This event brought together young scholars from Europaeum universities to explore contemporary European themes. This two-day program investigated relations between Migration and Political Parties in Europe today: the effects of migration and migratory laws and the impact these have on politics and political parties and how political parties respond to migration and migrants. Thus, migration affects the discourse, activities and policy positioning of political parties, as well as patterns of competition and co-operation between political parties. Simultaneously, government policy, political discourse and public opinion, affect processes and rates of migration, as well as relations between migrants and host communities.

Connecting Europe through History: Introduction
Interpreting key moments in the story of European human rights
Human rights, democracy and the rule of law are universally associated with Europe as core values, and today they also form core values of the European Union, and the Council of Europe, and of course the United Nations. Developing an understanding of basic human rights, and what it means to respect them, are therefore both key elements of current education in Europe and also across the world.
