Join Metropolis Americas\u2019 inaugural event to be held virtually on March 23, 2022.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The day-long conference in collaboration with the World Refugee & Migration Council will be an opportunity to hear from experts and practitioners about the key pillars for an Americas conversation about migration. We will explore challenges of regional governance and migration flow management and discuss some of the root causes of regional migration as well as the impact of COVID19. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Over the past decades, the Metropolis Institute has pursued research and supported policy deliberations on a wide spectrum of issues related to migration, integration and inclusion within its dynamic multidisciplinary networks: Metropolis Canada, Metropolis North America focusing on Canada, the USA and Mexico and, since  2021, Metropolis Francophonie Mondiale. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The study of migration is the study of humanity on the move intertwined into the evolving fabric of our societies. This ever changing reality is now at the forefront of all national and international relations as we have seen during the November 2021 North American Leaders\u2019 Summit. The \u2018Tree Amigos\u2019 meeting key deliverables shows the centrality of migration for security and prosperity. The need to establish a solid coordinated \u201cregional response based on the respect of laws and rooted in solidarity with migrants and among states\u201d<\/em> requires that we expand our own conversation beyond North America to the Americas.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Many countries in the Hemisphere have become ‘source, transit and destination’ of migrant populations. This results in more countries sharing similar challenges and opportunities if at different scales and with different capacities.  The objective of a wider network is also to bring these changes to light and provide a better understanding of the migration continuum.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Join us as we formalize the transition from Metropolis North America to Metropolis Americas and start a new conversation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
