Migration and integration are often seen as threats to the host country, in particular to European countries which have often been the hosts. But the narrative is changing and should change. This event brings together migration and integration policy makers to share best practices from regions such as Morocco, Finland, Senegal and East Africa. In addition, the event will highlight the impact of integration policies on the wellbeing and productivity of the migrants that experience them.
