Localities of Welcoming in Hostile Times

Description

Localities of welcoming is an informal network of people living and working in European cities and districts, and around ports, camps and border places where refugee arrivals are concentrated. The network is a mix of academics, journalists, and human rights campaigners - both Europeans and the new arrivals themselves. The network has members and links to member organisations in the UK, France, Belgium, Italy, Sicily, Norway, Denmark, Sweden, Spain, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Serbia, Greece, Malta, Ireland and Germany.

The network's aim is to promote and exchange information, discuss long-term strategies for welcoming and working with refugee communities, and support initiatives that these communities are taking themselves towards self-determination and integration. The network also aims to develop a critical framework of ideas with a particular interest in intersections between refugee-oriented work and other forms for critical opposition, including movements such as Cities of Sanctuary and Black Lives Matter.
