What comes to mind when you think about migration? 🌍
In a world saturated with information, yet often only fragments of the full picture, why do perceptions and reality sometimes differ so widely?
As part of the @4EUplusAlliance, UNIGE is pleased to welcome @ArthurErken , Regional Director for Europe and Central Asia at the @UNmigration, for an interactive lecture on migration in Europe.
The session will explore media narratives, statistical realities, public discourse, and lived experiences, offering a nuanced, data-informed perspective and inviting open dialogue.
📍Event details
· Date: 29 April 2026
· Time: 12:15 – 13:00 CET
· Location: Uni Dufour U259
🔗 Registration is open until 26 April: https://t.co/zIHcD2KP4w
As part of this initiative, an exhibition featuring migrant stories will also be on display from 27 to 30 April 2026 at Uni Dufour.
It’s a unique chance to engage with this global topic, don’t miss out!
