Course Summary

Migration policy making is often driven by political priorities, buttressed by ill-informed assumptions about the motivations and aspirations of those who move and ignoring, marginalising or misrepresenting the voices and perspectives of refugees and migrants themselves. Through the research team’s migrant-centred approach, and extensive engagement with parliamentarians, policy advisors, NGOs, local authorities, social enterprise and the media, this research contributed to significant shifts in narratives and practice at the UYK, EU and global levels.The MEDMIG project generated new insights into migration across the Mediterranean in 2015, challenging dominant political and media narratives and informing migration policy and practice in Europe and beyond. The findings have:Increased representation of migrant voices and perspectives in migration policy making processes in Europe and globally, a process now being taken forward by the GCRF-funded MIDEQ HubInfluenced the policy and practice of international organisations, NGOs and local governmentRaised awareness of migrant voices and perspectives through the media and private sector engagementInformed the design and delivery of curriculum in British schools through the Maths of Migration (MoM) project led by PositiveNegatives, and through resources developed by the Royal Geographical Society.
