Co-organized by the ACVZ, Gemeente Den Haag, and the LDE Centre Governance of Migration and Diversity, the National Migration Dialogue 2023 is set to take place on the 5th of July 2023.
Join the discussion about the local challenges for Ukrainian displaced persons in the Netherlands and the broader national and European perspective of this. What problems do municipalities identify? How can they themselves contribute to the future of Ukrainian displaced persons? What could the national government do about this? Or the European Commission?
Build Migration Dialogue
The Migration Advisory Council presents its follow-up report on the need for a long-term vision for Ukrainian displaced persons. State Secretary Van der Burg has been asked to receive it.
