Wide-ranging Q & A with large audience
The experts' contributions explored similarities and differences in the approaches to migration in Africa, Europe and America. They covered both voluntary and forced migration, and they also spoke to questions of government policies, xenophobia and the role of migration in sustainable development. The large audience in the seminar room at the ISS participated in a very lively debate which was facilitated by Ottilia Maunganidze, Head of Special Projects at the ISS.
