Online Panel Discussion
In a December 2020 report, the Dutch Scientific Council for Government Policy (Wetenschappelijke Raad voor het Regeringsbeleid, WRR) acknowledged a new reality: The Netherlands is a migratiesamenleving (migration society), and today’s immigrant population is extremely diverse.
The council report called upon the government to adopt integrated policy to help new migrants navigate Dutch society. What are the needs of the modern, diverse migrant population in the Netherlands, and how can local and national Dutch governments be held accountable for helping newcomers feel at home and genuinely welcome in the Netherlands?
University of Utrecht professor Mark Bovens will join RUG assistant professor of Public International Law Aikaterini Tsampi, who previously contributed to the United Nations Human Rights Committee as an independent researcher, and Judith Frens, an International and European law student who grew up abroad, in an online panel discussion on the 10th of March.
The panellists will discuss how to meaningfully embrace and enable diversity within the Netherlands, combat discrimination on the level of the European Union, and place the Dutch cultural approach in global context.
This free, online event is open to all, and attendees can also submit their own questions for the panel when they sign up to join. Sign up via this link.
