On the occasion of the hundredth anniversary of\n1922, 2022 will be dedicated to the ‘refugee phenomenon’. The gradual inclusion\nof refugees from Asia Minor, Pontus and other areas of population exchange was\nan important part of the economic development and modernisation of the society\nin Greece. Research has been conducted since the 1920s documenting the economic\ncontribution of refugees to the development of the host country (Aigidis 1928).\nThe keywords ‘development’, ‘refugees’ are conceptually and theoretically\ncharged terms because of the multiple and conflicting views and interpretations\noften identified with the developmental policies which are sometimes applied to\nexpatriate populations in specific areas like Africa and Middle East.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The conference will focus on the\nexperience of 1922 precisely through the possibilities and perspectives that\nopened in the Greek society and economy for a dynamic transformation. What were\nthe international and national policies and practices that supported this\ntransformation? What were the reactions of the society and the refugees\nthemselves? When, by whom and for how long are they considered \u2018refugees\u2019? What\nare the short-term, medium-term and long-term assessments of the ‘refugee\nfactor’? At the same time, the experience of 1922 will be used comparatively to\nopen a discussion with relevant experiences from the wider south-eastern Europe\nand the Mediterranean basin as well as the current policies and practices\nimplemented or proposed and treat refugees positively as a potential research\nfor development for the host country. What does the concept of \u2018positive\nexample\u2019 (success) mean in the case of a \u2018refugee crisis\u2019 (economic, social and\ncultural integration)? How does it help us to understand and socially integrate\nnew categories of refugees into modern reality.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The conference will take place at University of\nMacedonia -Thessaloniki in a hybrid way.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
