Youth UP Europe: transforming the migration narrative

This joint Bruegel - European Youth Forum event will discuss how we can shift the narrative of migration to a more positive one ahead of the European elections next year?

Date: September 6, 2018, 3:30 pm Topic: European Macroeconomics & Governance

Increased public attention on migration and refugees has fuelled divisive political discourse. Despite numerous inspiring initiatives striving for inclusion, the political narrative often dehumanises migrants, turning them into a security threat.

The question of immigration will undoubtedly be of great impact for the upcoming European elections next year. As part of the joint series of Youth-up events Bruegel and the European Youth Forum invite young people, policy makers and researchers to discuss how improving the perception of migration and the inclusion of migrants can create a positive impact on our societies.

Opinion

Beyond border control, migrant integration policies must be revived

Border control and burden-sharing of refugees is just one aspect of immigration policies. Greater financial inclusion and the tailoring of regulations to refugees' specific needs would benefit not only the refugees themselves, but also native citizens.
