Task for the seminar
Each group will discuss the case studies of migrant health practices influenced by religion from the provided literature (e.g., religious coping among migrants and refugees in Germany or the religious journey from Cape Verde to Brazil). Analyze the role of religious beliefs in health behaviors and coping strategies. Identify the health challenges migrants face and how religious coping mechanisms might aid or complicate health interventions. Discuss the role of religious literacy in improving health outcomes for migrant populations.

Groups will present their case studies analysis, followed by a discussion on how global health policies can better accommodate religious dimensions in migration contexts.
