Challenges of Migration into the European Union and Proposal of Solution Through Education

Abstract

In the paper, main aspects of the migration processes in the modern European Union are considered. The European Union attracts many migrants owing to its high level of social well-being, stability and multicultural environment. However, some problems that existed between the immigrants and the recipient societies before 2015 have become much more acute during the “immigration crisis”. Many events in Europe demonstrate the necessity to fight with violation of migrants’ collective and individual rights, to prevent migrantophobia, islamophobia, other forms of racial discrimination which push the societies just to chaos and conflicts. To solve problems of xenophobia, extremism as well as integration of immigrant communities, human rights of ethnical, language, religious minorities in Europe must not be curtailed. In addition, in order to stop the development of ‘nationalist’ movements all over the European Union, its parliament should launch various educational and training programs in cooperation with United Nations and other organizations that protect human rights. The authors conclude that the European countries should unite common efforts by investing into education and propose to create a joint EU financial fund for training purposes.
