The live webinar will tackle different topics, in relation to migration; the concept of borders, sea rescue and saving lives, discrimination, xenophobia and counternarratives, with a particular focus on COVID-19, while taking into consideration the Global Compact for Migration and the New EU Pact on Migration and Asylum. On this occasion, Agora Europe will also launch its new initiative “Dictionary on Mobility and Borders” (DMB).

The roundtable is co-sponsored by the United Nations Network on Migration, Columbia University Committee on Forced Migration, Alliance Program, Maison Française, Sciences Po CERI, Paris 1 Panthéon-Sorbonne University, UNIMED-Mediterranean Universities Union and United Nations University UNU-MERIT and is part of the “OTHERSIDE // EUROPE” Series inaugurated at Columbia University in 2019.
