Refugees, diasporas and migrants: connecting the dots for inclusive local development - livestreamed

Jun 16, 2022 | 12:30 PM - 2:00 PM
Concert Hall

Description

Today, communities across Europe and beyond are ramping up their efforts to respond to the Ukrainian refugee crisis, but this is just one example of the many links between migration and local development. This session will explore the various dimensions of these links, from how to coordinate efforts locally to ensure the best possible reception for recent arrivals to how emigrants and members of diasporas can contribute to local development in their new homes as well as their old.
