About this Event
Join us for this hybrid event (live at Pakhuis de Zwijger in Amsterdam or online) organized in the run-up to International Migrants Day.
The event will focus on the protection of the most vulnerable, whether refugees in camps, migrants on the move, or (undocumented) migrants closer to home. This is more relevant than ever in the face of the COVID-19 pandemic, continued migration streams and more recently the developments in Afghanistan and Belarus.
It's time to move away from ad-hoc half-solutions towards durable and systemic action - at international, national and sub-national level. What can we learn from recent research findings?
Our search for solutions will center around three themes.
- First of all, how can we bring our common humanity back into the center of our responses?
- Second, we will zoom into how current policies are in themselves creating humanitarian disasters.
- Third and last, we will explore how insights from research, civil society and migrant perspectives can inform and transform policy and practice going forward.
The program will be interactive throughout, and participants are invited to share their questions and own insights.
The conversation will be ISS at its finest: critical, based on real-world insights, bringing together a kaleidoscope of perspectives. Topic veteran or newbie, this episode is relevant for us all and you are welcome to join!
