Very important discussion at the high level forum @IMCB22 with @ratnaomi - thank you all for your engagement!

Thank you to each one of you for making #IMCB22 such a successful conference. We wish everyone departing the conference safe travels and a restful weekend. And stay tuned – we’ll be back with the full conference highlight reel as well as insights and impressions from the week.

In the Wrap up event, members of the International Steering Committee commended #IMCB22 attendees’ calls for bold leadership on migration research & policy, continuing the momentum of the @MetropolisInt96 research-policy nexus. Thanks for a wonderful conference!

We concluded with a lively discussion. Powerful takeaway voiced by Svenja Schulze and Ratna Omidvar: when it comes to advancing migrants rights, ‘Nothing About Us Without Us’
7/7

The Honourable Ratna Omidvar, CM OOnt challenged the dichotomy of high and low-skilled migrants – everyone has needed skills, especially when creating a global response to climate change. Stop thinking of ourselves as belong to a particular land and vice versa.
