As a central part of its takeover, the GFMD Civil Society Mechanism will convene a dialogue between key actors engaged in promoting more inclusive communities.
The panel discussion will bring together governments, local authorities and civil society actors for an interactive exchange of perspectives aimed at discussing solutions and inspiring joint initiatives for more balanced narratives about migrants and migration, in particular against racism.
Join our live closing for a conversation on inclusion in communities!
To conclude the civil society takeover of the It Takes a Community Campaign, two practitioners will join us to discuss what migrants bring to their own communities and how they work on a day-to-day basis to promote their inclusion and highlight their contributions so that all benefit from this diversity.
