- The Facultad de Ciencias Políticas y Sociales at BUAP partnered with the Red de Comités para la Integración y Bienvenida (ReCIBE) to host the event.
- Activities held on the academic unit’s esplanade ran over four days, concluding on October 8, 2026.

Academic Objectives and Faculty Perspective
Organized in coordination with the Latin American and Caribbean regional office of the U.S. Committee for Refugees and Immigrants (USCRI) through its ReCIBE network, the initiative sought to build spaces for reflection, dissemination, and awareness regarding migration. Catedrática Jazmín García Gómez highlighted the value of the gathering for students, noting that the scheduled days allowed attendees to dialogue, reflect, empathize, and actively engage with the realities of human mobility.
Event Programming and Institutional Collaboration
The four-day gathering combined academic analysis with cultural expression through multiple formats. Attendees navigated business model presentations, academic conferences, and a dedicated cine-forum alongside visual arts displays and cultural fair booths. The structure was explicitly designed to encourage inter-faculty partnerships and joint efforts with external social organizations focused on migrant integration and support.
