Funding pressures, discrimination and challenges to civic space, however, increasingly threaten the conditions that make participation &#8211; and therefore influence &#8211; possible.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">What do migrant activists and migrant-led organisations identify as Europe\u2019s most urgent priorities? What barriers do they face, and what would enable them to contribute more meaningfully to policymaking? Drawing on the results of the <strong>2026 Migrant Voices Observatory survey<\/strong>, the webinar will explore these questions.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">With the EU Pact on Migration and Asylum now in force, it is essential to consider whether migrants\u2019 rights, needs and perspectives are sufficiently reflected in its implementation and monitoring. With this in mind, responses to the survey highlight the importance of accessible and sustainable funding, stronger involvement in policymaking and recognition of migrant-led organisations as sources of expertise. Respondents\u2019 priorities also extend beyond migration policy to everyday concerns such as employment, housing, health and equality. The webinar will further consider the implications of increasingly restrictive access to citizenship across the EU for migrants\u2019 inclusion, participation and ability to shape the societies in which they live.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Through our <a href=\"https:\/\/www.migpolgroup.com\/index.php\/portfolio-item\/new-europeans-initiative\/\">New Europeans Initiative<\/a>, we will present the findings and discuss their implications for EU policy and practice. Participants and invited speakers will reflect on how institutions and other stakeholders can move beyond consultation towards meaningful influence. Policymakers, civil society organisations, migrant- and refugee-led initiatives, researchers and other stakeholders are invited to join the discussion.<\/p>\n<h2 style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><strong>Agenda<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><strong>12.30pm <\/strong>&#8211;<strong> Welcome and introduction<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><em><strong>Alexander Wolffhardt<\/strong>, Deputy Director, Migration Policy Group<\/em><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><strong>12.35pm <\/strong><em>&#8211; <\/em><strong>No voice without civic space: results of the Migrant Voices Observatory survey <\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><em><strong>Olivia Long<\/strong>, Policy Analyst, Migration Policy Group <\/em><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><strong>12.50pm &#8211; Tightening access to citizenship across the EU: current results from MIPEX<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><em><em><span style=\"font-weight: bold; color: #222222; font-family: var(--wpex-heading-font-family); letter-spacing: var(--wpex-heading-letter-spacing); text-transform: var(--wpex-heading-text-transform);\">Dr Ba\u015fak Yav\u00e7an<\/span><\/em><\/em><em>, Head of Research, Migration Policy Group<\/em><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><strong>1.10pm <\/strong>&#8211; <strong>Reflections and discussion<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><em>Moderated by Alexander Wolffhardt, with invited expert speakers (tbc):<\/em><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Tineke Strik<\/strong>, MEP, the Greens \/ EFA group<\/li>\n<li><strong>Yonous Muhammadi<\/strong>, President, Greek Forum of Refugees<\/li>\n<li><strong>Anila Noor<\/strong>, Managing Director, New Women Connectors<\/li>\n<li><strong>Ismail Alkhateeb, <\/strong>Head of Partnerships &amp; Ecosystem Development, PLACE Network<\/li>\n<li><strong>Damiano Del Balso<\/strong>, Policy Officer, European Commission<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><strong>1.40pm Closing remarks<\/strong><\/p>\n<h2>Registration<\/h2>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Please confirm your spot in the webinar by completing the <a href=\"https:\/\/docs.google.com\/forms\/d\/e\/1FAIpQLSfjCkJEaj_slBrbgz8_LUxLdl7xiwJLtiXX2yB4pbiVDJ0ACA\/viewform?usp=dialog\">registration form<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">For any questions, please contact Olivia Long, MPG policy analyst, at <a href=\"mailto:olong@migpolgroup.com\">olong@migpolgroup.com<\/a>.<\/p>\n[\/vc_column_text]<div class=\"vcex-spacing wpex-w-100 wpex-clear\" style=\"height:60px;\"><\/div><div class=\"theme-button-wrap textcenter wpex-clr\"><a href=\"https:\/\/docs.google.com\/forms\/d\/e\/1FAIpQLSfjCkJEaj_slBrbgz8_LUxLdl7xiwJLtiXX2yB4pbiVDJ0ACA\/viewform?usp=dialog\" class=\"vcex-button theme-button align-center inline\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><span class=\"vcex-button-inner theme-button-inner wpex-flex wpex-flex-wrap wpex-items-center wpex-justify-center\">Register for the webinar<\/span><\/a><\/div> <div class=\"vcex-spacing wpex-w-100 wpex-clear\" style=\"height:60px;\"><\/div>[\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][vc_separator][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]\n<h2><span style=\"font-family: Ubuntu;\">About the Migration Policy Group (MPG)<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: Ubuntu;\">MPG is an independent think-and-do-tank based in Brussels.
