Fostering diversity in political decision making

MILE stands for Migrant Integration through Locally designed Experiences and is an initiative aiming to empower the local community as a whole, including migrant communities. We are co-funded through the European Union’s Asylum, Migration and Integration Fund and involve partners in six European countries: Belgium, Greece, Latvia, Spain, the Netherlands, and the UK.

MILE

This event will share perspectives from local migrant councils in Spain, Latvia, Greece and the UK.

Join us for another MILE online event on Thursday 29 June from 12:00-13:00, bringing together different perspectives on fostering diversity and the inclusion of migrants and refugees in political decision-making through consultative bodies, migrant councils and similar initiatives.We will hear from those directly involved in MILE’s local migrant consultative bodies currently running in Ripollet (Spain), Riga (Latvia), Birmingham (UK) and Ioannina (Greece). While the speakers will share their experiences and views on the value, potential and and challenges of migrant councils and similar participatory tools, the discussion will be guided by the key themes of compassion, belonging, diversity, participation well-being and intersectionality. We will also discuss the role of participatory structures at the EU level through platforms such as the European Migration Forum.
