“Green Perspectives on Migration, From Global to Local” Conference in Oxford

This conference is a part of our transnational Refugees and Migration Policies project. It aimed to provide a space for debate about the implications of the Refugee and Asylum Policies crisis in Europe, and to foster Green alternatives in terms of solutions and best practices of integration. Furthermore, this was an opportunity to bring forward the cases of Green activism with successful outcomes in enabling integration in the European context.

The programme of the conference included lessons of contemporary integration models from Green professionals in the field, research inputs from relevant academics and debates on practical proposals for Green policies towards migration.
