The MILE project is inviting you to mark your calendars for its final event taking place in Brussels on 23-34 November 2023. The event not only marks the end of a two year journey for our project. It will also provide a moment to reflect on our experiences with promoting migrant participation and inclusion at the local level. Together with event participants, migrant communities, NGO representatives, policy makers, researchers and Brussels residents, we will exchange our good practices, lessons learned and stories of inclusion, participation and inclusion, with an evening of theatre and music (23 November) and a morning of debates and testimonies (24 November).
