The course is structured into three main sections:

2. Historical Perspectives: In this section, we will examine the historical context surrounding different instances of freedom of movement in Europe. We will explore how different events and movements have shaped this freedom of movement over time.
3. Current Issues: In this section, we will focus on current issues related to freedom of movement in Europe. We will discuss topics such as migration policies, border control, and human rights.
