Participants were invited to comment on the updated drafts of the Ministerial Declaration and the Action Plan. They reflect the discussions held during the SOM in November 2021 and the written contributions submitted by the Participating States, while also referring to the most pressing regional challenges such as the war in Ukraine, the situation in Afghanistan, and the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic. A separate session was devoted to the implications of the war in Ukraine on migration and mobility across the Prague Process region. The second day of the meeting focused on some examples and possible new areas for practical cooperation.

The Prague Process launches its E-Learning Platform
13 August 2021
The Prague Process Training Academy is entering a new phase by launching the E-learning Platform.
The platform is meant to serve the Prague Process states and partners with educational material for self-paced independent remote learning on migration and asylum. In times when in-person learning is reduced, e-learning tools become a safe and effective alternative to face-to-face classroom settings offering a convenient way for busy professionals to gain, enrich or refresh knowledge on migration matters.
The platform currently hosts three online courses on labour migration, identification and profiling, and integrated border management (IBM). The first two courses feature a series of short videos, quizzes and further readings. Meanwhile, the IBM course comprises rich written material with quizzes. All courses are available in English and Russian and can be repeated multiple times and adjusted to individual schedules without the risk to lose progress. Upon completing a course, successful participants receive a certificate of completion.
In order to access courses, users should register on the platform and enrol in the courses of their choice. The registration process is simple and straightforward, and the enrolment is done in one click. You are invited to watch a short explainer video to get around.
