COVID-19 : le monde d’après est déjà là...L’imprévisible crise du COVID-19 pose, à plusieurs niveaux, des questions fondamentales. Elle questionne la forme actuelle de la mondialisation, et l’idéologie néo-libérale qui l’a jusqu’ici accompagnée. Elle interroge une gouvernance mondiale en panne, dépassée par les égoïsmes nationaux, et les tentations de fermeture. Elle appelle à la mobilisation des instruments de |

The Impact of COVID-19 on EU Citizens' Rights in the United KingdomThe COVID-19 crisis has arguably shifted the debate on migration in the EU. Previously labelled ‘low skilled’ workers, such as cleaners and delivery drivers, are the key workers holding our continent together in this period. The crisis has been a wake-up call to reassess our values as individuals, but also as Europeans. It has shown how restrictive migration policies simply do not work if what we want is to keep everyone safe while we collectively get through the pandemic.

Connecting newcomers and locals in times of COVID-19With the COVID-19 pandemic in full swing many are feeling more isolated than ever before. With limited movement being the norm across Europe and other regions, the social and economic consequences are devastating, particularly to the most vulnerable groups of our society such as migrants, refugees and the elderly.

A Roadmap to Local Inclusion in the age of COVID-19In the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic, the International Welcoming movement – comprised of hundreds of towns and cities worldwide transforming themselves into inclusive places – is working to ensure that norms of inclusion not only don’t fall by the wayside, but are further affirmed in this time of extreme crisis. A key lesson our movement is imparting is as follows: if municipalities and other local stakeholders fail to build trust among residents, and fail to follow inclusive practices in their COVID-19 responses, their |

Stay home without a home?During the COVID-19 pandemic crisis, individuals have been asked to self-isolate – to “stay home”. However, millions of people around the globe do not have a home because they have been forced to leave their communities due to war or persecution. Stay+home+without+a+home_MTS.pdf |

How disinformation is negatively fueling the migration discourseDisinformation is not new. It has existed since ancient times. What’s new then? Now it’s much easier to spread a hoax than 20 years ago thanks to the amplification of channels available to consume and share information. In this regard, not only information has been democratized, but also disinformation. A combination of changes in consumption patterns, lack of media literacy, loss of trust in journalism and the lack of business models for the digital media largely contribute.

Historic shocks can bring about historic changes. Fixing our broken migration system should be one of themToday’s global migration is impacting the public and political debate more than it has in the past 70 years. Its direct implications – for human rights, the economy and security – as well as the indirect ones – as a lever for broader political and economic interests – will shape the societies we live in for the coming decades. If one believes that COVID-19 is reversing this trend, think twice. As with previous global shocks, the state of affairs will hardly remain the same once the pandemic is over. Ensuring it takes a turn for the better or allows us to dig deeper into the current migration system, will depend largely on the kind of decisions and actions we take in the coming months.There are reasons to believe that we are in front of a make-it-or-break-it point and we should seize the opportunity to reform the migration system.
