On June 25 and 26, mayors from across Europe will join civil society actors in Palermo for a Cities for a Europe of Solidarity conference to propose solutions to welcome refugees.
We are finally happy to announce the date of our joint conference! The conference is organized by From the Sea to the City, a European civil society network in collaboration with the cities of Palermo and Potsdam.
Cities and municipalities are not only central actors when it comes to providing protection, integration and social cohesion, they are also centers for business and development. At the same time, they must find effective local solutions to the effects of transnational challenges and thus make an important contribution to global problem-solving.
As part of the From the See to the City consortium, we are very pleased to publish our first joint publication with key recommendations and best practices in the field of European migration. The recommendations are addressed to EU representatives, mayors, representatives of municipalities and civil society.
