Engaged Students for Inclusive Cities: Recap

Organized by Dr. Asya Pisarevskaya, Assistant Professor of Migration and Diversity Governance at the Erasmus School for Social and Behavioural Sciences (ESSB), this workshop - enabled by UNIC Seed Funding - focused on how to bring the local knowledge of people in superdiverse cities to decision-makers.
Through this workshop the Rotterdam Inclusivity Project joined forces with the Centre for Ethnic and Migration Studies (CEDEM) of the University of Liege (ULiège). The senior researchers, students and alumni discussed the topic of engaged research on migrant exclusion and inclusive policymaking with the municipality of Rotterdam and antidiscrimination agency RADAR.
“This workshop allowed students from EUR and ULiege to learn from and get inspired by our alumni as well as meet practitioners from the city of Rotterdam," said Dr. Pisarevskaya. "It was really nice to see that the students, the alumni, the municipality and the societal organizations found this event useful.”
