Why Migration?

In the fishbowl discussion, you will come together in different generations to develop possible visions of the future of migration: from and to Germany and in a global context.



How much and what form of migration is desirable is the subject of controversial public debate in many countries around the world. Young people today are growing up in a globally networked world. In Europe, this is associated with a high degree of freedom of movement. At the same time, our ageing societies in particular are dependent on immigration from outside to ensure that labour markets, healthcare and social security systems remain stable.

In our fishbowl discussion, you come together as citizens from different generations and worlds of experience to share your perspectives and ideas for the future: How mobile will we be in 25 years? Where are boundaries necessary? Who needs to move?

If you are between 16 and 19 or over 60 years old, you are invited to share your personal experiences and ideas about migration in Germany and beyond. Together with international migration researchers, experts from the field and artists, you will develop ideas and look ahead to possible social developments. Because the future is conceived and made by people.

The event is part of an international science project taking place in Germany, Ghana, Singapore and Canada: www.futureimaginaries.org.
