This conference will highlight the findings from the European research project OPPORTUNITIES. Four years of research will be brought to the stage on how narratives on migration develop, how (social) media spread such narratives, how Europeans relate to migration and how, in practice, an equal dialogue is possible. 

Researchers, civil servants, journalists, teachers, and professionals from intergovernmental and governmental agencies working in migration-related areas are encouraged to apply for the 2nd Migration Winter Academy, taking place from 3-7 February 2025, in Florence, Italy. Through expert-led sessions and interactive discussions, the course will delve into public attitudes toward migration, migrant decision-making, and the development of migration policies.
