This course has three objectives.
By the end of the term, you should be able to
(1) gain basic knowledge about persons who are labelled as stateless, refugees and migrants, and the international society's basic frameworks to support them.
(2) explain critically about these lables and solutions, which have been formulated by the international society and form your own opinions what need to be done and think about what you can do.
(3) improve research skills and presentation skills including logical thinking.
As shown below, we will examine the labels including refugees, asylum seekers, migrants, stateless persons and those with undetermined nationality. and the roles of some key UN organizations. We will study not only the legal definitions but also the reasons why they were made, how and by whom they were formulated, expanded or used in a very restricted manner. We will see what kind of solutions are supposed to be provided to such people by the international society, and the realities. Some of them have found their own ways to manage the difficult situations. We will also pay attention to the rapid development of the biometric/AI technologies for registration. It creates both opportunities and risks. Considering the ambiguities of the labels, very limited access to the solutions and different situations for those under the same label, we need to ask what the label of nationals really means to such persons. We also consider what the solutions mean to the persons who are labeled and those who label them. Based on what you learn, please think about what you and young people can do to change the situations if a change is necessary,
I will explain basic information about the legal definitions or solutions formulated by the international society, and then the students conduct their own research to examine the realities against the international framework. In the class discussions, we try to analyze the situations from different positions.
This course is highly participatory. You are required to (1) read the key materials explained by the lecturer or presenters before the class, so that you can actively participate in the discussions (2) find a piece of news relevant to the topic of the week and share it with your classmates and read those posted by others. They can be used as examples in the discussions. (3) conduct research and do two presentations (depending on the number of participants, the number might change) and answer to all the questions from your classmates in writing if you cannot answer right away (4) improve your presentation materials after your presentation reflecting feedback from the class, and (5) write a term paper.
I will share my experiences from the fields in a total of eight countries while working mainly for UNICEF, UNHCR, UNTAC and JICA when appropriate. You are encouraged to share your own experiences as well if relevant to the topic.
The contents and the order might be revised according to the number of students and their interests.

You are required to watch a short video or read a few pages as instructed by the lecturer before the class. It will take about 15-20 minutes. You will need probably a few minutes to find a piece of news article to share with other students every week and need a few minutes to read each article posted by others every week (You can decide how many news articles to read per week when you set your own objectives). For your presentation, you will probably need several hours to read the materials, prepare your presentation materials and practice your speech.

PC. We will discuss and decide if we will form a LINE group or use LMS to share a piece of news every week.
I plan to invite a migrant from Afghanistan who live in Japan in one of our classes so that the students will have an opportunity to actually meet and talk with her. ( the person might be changed depending on the schedule)
You are expected to participate actively in the class discussions. You are required to set your own objectives in SMART way(I will explain in the class) apart from what I want you to understand. You need to monitor your own progress and evaluate your achievements by yourself according the indicators which you set by yourself. I will give my feedback in the class. We utilize Canvas LMS for you to submit of your presentation materials, your term paper, your SMART objectives etc. and for me to share materials. In the classroom, I use both PowerPoint, white/black board and audio visual materials. Depending on the nationalities of students or their interests, we might choose another country instead of Japan. I will reduce theories and use more audiovisual and examples.
The students in this seminar are cordially invited to a special session, “Youth Participation to Promote Child Rights,” with Mr. Roberto Benes, Director, UNICEF Tokyo Office in Prof. Mellet's class from 10:45 to 12:25 on Friday, the 24th of May. You are not obliged to attend.
