The need to promote a better understanding and a data-driven approach, concerned with the economic, social and cultural impact of migration, in order to properly address widespread public concerns over migration issues will be at the centre of this panel. Debates will focus on sharing best practices in policy interventions as well as in civil society action in various countries, aiming at depoliticising migration. Furthermore, the need to challenge discriminatory descriptions and incorrect statements in the media will be discussed.
Rapporteur: Christian Strohal
Moderator: Ali Aslan
