Communicating the EU Asylum and Migration Policy [En Anglais]

En Ligne, Strasbourg

Entrée libre

Organisé par MeetEU

With the Pact on Migration and Asylum, the European Union is setting new standards for migration policy in the 21st century. Commissioner for Home Affairs Ylva Johansson underlines the importance of immigration for Europe’s future: “Legal migration is essential to our economic recovery, the digital and green transition and to creating safe channels to Europe, while reducing irregular migration.”

But the Ukraine crisis, which has resulted in several million refugees, is once again testing European solidarity. At the same time, images of protective walls at external borders, pushbacks, and refugees on unsafe boats regularly make headlines.

Is the current situation a turning point in the European Union’s migration and asylum policy? How is the EU managing this crisis and communicating about its response?

Let’s talk about it with Tina from the European Commission

LET'S MAKE EUROPE A
BETTER PLACE

United in diversity – that’s the motto we share at MeetEU! Since April 2020, we have been organizing weekly events with Members of the European Parliament, European Commission representatives, EU activists and scientists. At our events, participants can discuss their ideas directly with decision-makers and experts.

Our mission is to bring EU citizens closer to EU politics. Our event participants join from all over Europe. We all come from different backgrounds. But once a week, we come together with one goal: to share perspectives and make Europe a better place.

MeetEU is a project run by volunteers
