This is a state of the art on the topic - Migration and its intersection with Adult Education and Open and Distance Education, observing international migration, especially refugee migration, in the educational policies of the main political-economic blocs in the world , as well as major global economies, in comparison with Brazilian policies, at national and subnational levels in theoretical, methodological and legal terms, highlighting the most recent conceptual changes and problematizations. The second is to analyze the database and discuss ways of working with the data in a qualitative and quantitative approach with a macro perspective to drive a better and broader understanding of the area of knowledge in question and promote further studies and collaborations.
