The conference will bring together scholars from several European countries to explore the relationship between private hospitality, public policies and inclusion processes.
The sessions will address the role of civil society organisations, the interaction between hosting initiatives and public institutions, representations of refugees, and the impact of grassroots solidarity practices.
The programme will also feature a presentation of the experience of Refugees Welcome Italia and a final collective discussion on future research and coordination activities.
The conference is promoted by the SPGI Department and CISR – MIP Observatory on Migration Politics, Policy and Governance.
