Living Migration – Shaping Democracy – Strengthening Community(ies)

Migration shapes neighborhoods and brings with it new questions, experiences, and challenges. Yet migration is only one facet of social diversity, offering fresh perspectives on fundamental questions of belonging and democratic coexistence. We view migration as an opportunity for democracy and as an impetus to learn from one another and to continuously reshape how we live together as a society. Together, we aim to explore how democratic experiences in local migration contexts can be made visible and utilized—as a resource for a vibrant and resilient democracy.

We invite scholars from all disciplines and institutions (universities, universities of applied sciences, non-university research institutes, think tanks), practitioners from NGOs, associations, politics, or city administration, as well as representatives of migrant self-organizations to join us.
