International conference »Diaspora engagement in the EU«
»Diaspora engagement in the EU« was the international conference organized within the AMIF project We all need new engagement (WANNE) in the European Parliament in Brussels on 4 November. The questions we have addressed are among others: what are the major challenges facing the diaspora engagement within their communities in the EU; how are NGOs and diaspora organizations addressing these challenges; what are the potential areas of engagement with diaspora within the EU; what are the missing links in harnessing the benefits of diaspora engagement within the EU; how can the EU support the member states, NGOs and diaspora organizations?
Centre for Peace Studies' Sara Kekuš participated alongside Lynder Musimbi Libese from the Association of Africans in Croatia.
The seminar was hosted by Lefteris Papagiannakis (Vice-President of the European Coalition of Cities Against Racism (ECCAR), Chairman of the Greek Refugee Committee and Secretary-General of the Hellenic League of Human Rights), EP Pierrette Herzberger-Fofana (Greens, Germany), and EP Samira Rafaela (Democrats, The Netherlands).
