’Escaping the escape – Europe and the refugee crisis’

In 2015, more than one million refugees and migrants came to Europe, in 2016 nearly 300,000. How many will enter in 2017? What can we, in Europe, expect with wars and conflicts continuing and driving people from our neighbourhood to European shores? What is the situation in the source and transit countries of refugees and migrants that are most affected? How can the life of refugees, migrants and host communities be improved?

Listen to and debate with experts from Afghanistan, the Former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia (FYROM), Libya, Sudan and Nigeria: what solutions for the humanitarian migration crisis do they recommend? What are their proposals for EU actors to improve European policies?

Be our guest and meet

Mariam Safi, Afghanistan, founding director of the Organization for Policy Research and Development Studies (DROPS);
Dane Taleski, FYROM, adjunct professor at the South East European University in Tetovo/Skopje;
Zakariya El Zaidy, Libya, protection team leader for the Danish Refugee Council in Libya;
J. Shola Omotola, Nigeria, professor of Political Science at the Federal University Oye Ekiti in Nigeria; and

We will take this opportunity to launch a new Bertelsmann Stiftung publication ’Escaping the Escape – Toward solutions for the humanitarian migration crisis’

Sincerely,
