Practices of Migrant Solidarity: Experiences of European Cities Adopting Pro-Migrant Policies
Online only
European cities face a critical challenge: how to implement rights-based, effective policies to support precarious migrants and refugees, given that national and EU frameworks are often restrictive or contradictory. To best support these communities, cities must consider not only which specific policies to implement but also the characteristics and practices that enable them to develop and implement pro-migrant policies. This webinar will present findings from a recent study on the local dynamics of 28 cities across Europe. Drawing on data collected by the Berlin-based advocacy organisation Moving Cities, this research identifies three overarching themes: the empowerment of municipal actors, collaborative approaches, and integrated frameworks. These findings validate research on migrant solidarity policies conducted in cities across the continent and offer a more comprehensive framework for how cities can integrate migrant support across all levels of government and society. The presentation will be followed by a discussion on how these factors apply across contexts.
