Grassroots solves problems that look unsolvable on a macro level

Networking locally

In their own sphere of influence—geographical, institutional, linguistic, ethnic, religious—practi tioners will actively network and support grassroots communities and actors at the local, regional and European levels.

Meeting people on the move

Network practitioners will gather together annually with people on the move from across Europe to strategize and implement a bottomup agenda. Getting a seat at the table

By bringing together refugees, migrants, and practitioners with policy experts, civil society actors, political and religious leaders, people on the move have a voice and a definitive role when it comes to decision-making about migration policy.

Finding a model for Europe

This methodology seeks to employ and embody a model of what a diverse, socially-cohesive and welcoming Europe looks like.

Reaching out

The work of the network is not only focused on the practitioners within it. The primary aim of the practitioners’ network is to serve the broader network of practitioners and organizations working with migration in particular, and broader society more generally. To reach out to all of them, A World of Neighbours organizes monthly webinars available to the broader public. In each webinar, we feature one of the network practitioners alongside the leading experts in the field. The webinars are recorded and uploaded to the website, where they remain available to all interested.
