The effective integration of newcomers, a key aspect of migration management, is important for broader community cohesion.
But what does it take in practice to build communities where everyone can contribute, participate and thrive? And why should integration be understood as a two-way process?
Our guest speakers use the example of supporting migrants arriving in Oxfordshire, as part of their work with Migrant Voices Collective for the Oxfordshire Migration Partnership, to consider how approaches to integration could be improved at a local level to better foster belonging and benefit the community.
Speakers:
Dr Beacon Mbiba, Senior Lecturer, Oxford Brookes University
Philip Thorpe, Independent Migration Consultant
Hosts: Sanne van Oosten, Senior Research at COMPAS and Rob McNeil, Deputy Director and Head of Media and Communications at the Migration Observatory and
