What does it mean to belong to a community? What role does connection play in helping migrants navigate the challenges and opportunities of living in a new place? How do we change negative perspectives around migration and inspire others to do the same?

Migrateful presents How Connection Shifts Perception: Rethinking the Migrant “Crisis”

Join our panellists as they discuss how the practice of cultural exchange can educate, enrich and strengthen local communities and shift negative attitudes towards migration.

Confirmed panellists include:

• • Emily Miller, Director of Learning and Partnerships at The Migration Museum
  • Nadine McGarry, Integration & Inclusion Officer at Islington Council
