DU Hospitality, Mediations, Migrations (H2M)

Registrations for Inalco's "Hospitality, Mediations, Migrations" DU H2M university diploma were open from May 15 to June 16, 2023. The DU H2M is designed to professionalize mediators specializing in contemporary migration.

Today, the function of mediator-interpreter in a migratory context exists in the field: it is most often performed by volunteer exiles who meet a linguistic and cultural need of those involved in reception.

Since it requires significant skills, know-how and specific interpersonal skills, the DU H2M aims to train professional mediators and gain official recognition for this profession as one of the essential keys to welcoming people.

The DU H2M aims to:

• Value students' linguistic and cultural skills and their experience of migration spaces.
• Enable students to master the issues involved in welcoming exiled people in France by offering them both theoretical and practical training. In addition to an insight into the historical, legal and administrative context that enables us to grasp reception arrangements, particularly in France, this inclusive and collaborative training program (analysis of professional practices, workshops, internships) offers a reflection on the issues and practices of mediation and interpreting in a migratory context.
• Encourage the development of the profession of mediator within associations or institutions specialized in the reception of people in migration.

+ In brief

Target audience: mediators and NGO facilitators welcoming people in migration situations, local authority social workers, social workers, refugees, asylum seekers and exiles whatever their administrative status. Motivation for mediation is essential.
