A New Urban Narrative on Migrations
12 June 2024. From 09:30 | Workshop | Spanish | Casa Mediterráneo (Alicante)
Around thirty experts, journalists, city networks, and regional professionals discuss public narratives surrounding migrations in urban areas in this workshop, co-organised by Casa Mediteráneo, within the project “Migrations and Urban Governance: An Agenda for Cooperation (MigUrb),” led by the Barcelona City Council and the IEMed.
The event aims to facilitate the exchange of experiences at the local and media levels, identify common challenges, and explore ways to construct a narrative that reflects the complex reality of migrations and their role in contemporary societies.

About the MigUrb Project
Launched in April by the Barcelona City Council and the IEMed, the MigUrb project aims to promote cities as key players in coordinated urban migration governance strategies. Given the complexity of migration flows from West Africa and the Sahel to North Africa and Europe, local governments need to strengthen, network, and innovate to effectively address the challenges of human mobility.
MigUrb plans to organize a series of activities addressing various aspects of migration. The first initiative is this workshop in Alicante, co-organised with Casa Mediterráneo. Upcoming activities include an institutional visit to Dakar (Senegal) and the international meeting “Resilient Cities and Migration Governance in the Mediterranean” in Barcelona, organized jointly with GRITIM – Pompeu Fabra University (UPF). This meeting will bring together representatives from European and Mediterranean cities and research centers to develop a roadmap for the coming years based on previous work.
