Today, migration is at the centre of a clash that is not just cultural. It is about nothing other than the future of the European Union and its values, the stability of political systems and democracies as well as our economic survival. Our path away from the nation state will not be linear.
In addition to seemingly objective figures, we also need to take a look at the underlying discourses, breaking down hardened
narratives by listening, understanding and building bridges: first through interviews with which we describe the realities of the countries beyond narrow and one-sided perspectives and then through reflection and dialogue processes whose focus is to be defined between national and regional actors.
We strive for a balanced future within and with the European Union. Bridges are needed, urgently.
