Scope and purpose of the workshop

The workshop “Migration and Families” was attended by approximately 260 registered participants from around the world, including policymakers and practitioners specializing in immigration law, social and family affairs, health and development, as well as civil society and media representatives active in areas related to various dimensions of family migration. The workshop offered an opportunity to policymakers and practitioners to exchange policies, experiences and lessons learned; and discuss best strategies to respond to the challenges that migrant families and their members face. The goal is to ensure protection of their rights and ultimately increase their well-being and their ability to contribute to socioeconomic development of their communities in destination and home countries.
