On April 7–8, the Auschwitz Institute’s Mediterranean Basin Programs team proudly concluded its fifth successful training for border police agents in Oradea, Romania! In partnership with the Border Police Agents Training School “Avram Iancu,” the two-day seminar "Strengthening Democratic Resilience in Border Spaces During a Global Migration Crisis," brought together 193 future border police agents for in-depth, applied discussions. Centered on a prevention lens and a human rights-based approach, the training emphasized how border work can uphold dignity, safeguard democratic values, and help prevent future atrocities—even amidst complex migration challenges. We are honored that this training is now a key part of the School’s curriculum, having reached over 1,000 border police agents to date! Photos by: Matei Demetrescu & Flavius Cora (fb)
