We lead advocacy actions and lobby local, national, and European institutions to promote a change in current European migration policies
We promote and organize information and awareness-raising events for civil society and schools to address the issue of migration with a multidisciplinary approach, comparing cross-disciplinary and distinct perspectives
We push for the activation of local chapters through collective mobilization aimed at creating greater involvement and opportunities for public discussion on the issue
We believe in the importance and power of civil society and grassroots which, acting from below, can influence local, national, and European authorities to build a more fair and inclusive society and change the way migration is narrated.
Through municipal resolutions, we urge Italian municipalities to contribute to the change of national and European migration policies and to work on a European municipal relocation system.
