European Migration Network Holds International Conference in Tbilisi
An international conference - Commonly Understood Language as a Tool for Migration Management: the EMN Glossary on Asylum and Migration - was held today in Tbilisi, which was opened by the First Deputy Minister of Justice of Georgia, Tamar Tkeshelashvili, together with representatives of the General Directorate of Home Affairs of Latvia and the European Commission.
The conference was jointly organized by the State Services Development Agency of the Ministry of Justice and the Latvian National Contact Person of the European Migration Network.
The European Migration Network (EMN) has developed and continuously updates a comprehensive glossary defining the main concepts of asylum and migration policy in the EU. The dictionary was translated into Georgian by the Legislative Herald of the Ministry of Justice in cooperation with the State Department of Language.
The event aimed to provide a discussion platform where the network's national contact persons, academic circles and representatives of the migration field from different countries would share their experiences in the use of migration-related terminologies.
The conference highlighted the essence of network terms and their importance both for the EU and beyond.
The international conference was supported by the European Union.
