We have the pleasure to invite you to the Slovak film premiere of the documentary The New Europeans which will be followed by an expert discussion on migration topics. The EMN Discussion Evening will take place on 3 July 2023 at 7.30 pm in Kino Mladosť in Bratislava as part of the 9th EMN Educational Seminar on Migration: Protection of Migrants in Vulnerable Situations. The entry is free.
About The New Europeans:
The humanitarian catastrophe triggered by the war in Ukraine has led to the development of many different reception strategies across the EU. The complex reception structures for refugees created in some countries in a short time show how inconsistent Europe's response to immigration and human suffering is. While some refugees are welcomed with open arms, others are rejected. But can an aging Europe manage without integrating all of these new arrivals?
The film will be screened with Slovak and English subtitles.
About the discussion:
The film screening will be followed by an expert discussion on migration, migration policies and long-term public attitudes towards foreigners and diversity in Slovakia in the light of a broader economic, demographic and social reality.
Discussants:
• Oľga Gyárfášová, Sociologist and Associate Professor at the Institute of European Studies and International Relations, University of Comenius in Bratislava;
• Lucia Mýtna Kureková, Labour Migration Expert and Researcher, Slovak Academy of Sciences;
• Ján Orlovský, Director of Migration Office of the Ministry of Interior of the Slovak Republic.
Moderator: Zuzana Vatráľová, Chief of Mission, International Organization for Migration (IOM), Ireland.
