Brottsofferjouren Sverige och Sensus studieförbund bjuder in till en digital konferens om utsatta områden – ett ämne som berör och väcker känslor – förmodligen även en av de mest avgörande frågorna inför höstens val.
Enligt polisen så finns det idag 60 områden i Sverige som klassas som särskilt utsatta områden, utsatta områden eller riskområden. Vad innebär det här i praktiken för de boendes trygghet och påverkansmöjligheter? Vad kan vi tillsammans göra, vad görs redan och hur ser framtiden ut? Är lösningen organisationers och individers eget arbete eller är det en ökad dialog som behövs? Vad är det för arbete som idag bedrivs och behövs nya strategier? Vad finns det för stöd att få och vem kan man samverka med?
Vi ger två tillfällen med samma innehåll och upplägg. Är du intresserad av hur man kan inspirera och stärka dialog och samverkan i utsatta områden? Varmt välkommen! Konferensen är kostnadsfri.
Medverkar gör bland andra Amir Rostami, Patrik Asplund, Esme Güler, Balqis Lamis Khattab, Ihsan Kellecioglu, Ahmed Noor, Anders Ygeman, Liv Wallinder, Nicolas Lunabba, Marco Briones och Kim Nilvall.
The Russian invasion of Ukraine has caused one of the fastest developing, large-scale population displacements in recent history, with millions of Ukrainians looking for protection in other countries. The Nordic countries Sweden, Norway, Finland, Denmark and Iceland are playing their part in receiving Ukrainian refugees and offering protection alongside other EU and non-EU countries.
The Nordic countries are looking back at a long history of cooperation on a number of matters such as economic development, the mobility of citizens, the labour market, and there are a similarities between these five countries as regards the welfare state, which also includes the integration of refugees and immigrants. However, as far as migration and asylum policy is concerned, there have also been differences. For example, not all Nordic countries are Member States of the EU or are covered by the EU’s legal instruments in the migration and asylum area.
With this event, EMN Sweden aims to provide an opportunity for political decision-makers, migration experts, researchers and civil society in Sweden, the other Nordic countries and elsewhere in Europe to learn about and discuss migration and asylum policy developments in the Nordic countries with a special focus on protection for Ukrainians. The objective is to facilitate dialogue and mutual learning in a comparative and inspiring setting.
The Conference is currently planned as an in-person event in central Stockholm. You will soon receive an official invitation and the conference programme, until then please save the date!

At the backdrop of globalisation, international mobility and continuously diverse and multicultural societies, the Norwegian curriculum for the second foreign language (L3) recognises multilingualism and intercultural competence as core elements of language learning. Multilingualism and intercultural competence are however complex and contested concepts. This contention influences how they are implemented in Norwegian secondary schools – begging for this complexity to be demystified.
If you are interested in these issues, you don’t want to miss our next online IMER seminar! You are still welcome to register your attendance here
About the Seminar
In this seminar, Irina Tiurikova will present the findings of her PhD study which falls under the Ungspråk project. Her study, which focuses on teachers’ views on the intersection of multilingualism and intercultural competence, finds the implementation of these concepts as highly dependent on the teachers who play the main role in implementing them. Tiurikova’s presentation will address the following key questions: (1) How do foreign language teachers in Norwegian secondary schools conceptualise multilingualism and intercultural competence in relation to foreign language teaching? (2) To what extent and how do these teachers see these two core elements as complex but at the same time interrelated? The study is based on qualitative semi-structured interviews conducted with six teachers of foreign languages from different secondary schools in Western Norway.
Irina Tiurikova is a PhD candidate at the Department of Foreign Languages at The University of Bergen and a member of the Research group Multilingualism on my mind. She is also the IMER Junior scholar network coordinator. She has published several articles on multilingualism and multilingual identity and her publications can be found here.
« L’Europe face à la question de l’asile » À l’Assemblée nationale Salle Colbert, 101 rue de l’Université, Paris Le jeudi 28 octobre 2021 10h-13h Évènement parrainé par Monsieur le député Jacques Maire La crise humanitaire ouverte par la situation en Afghanistan met à nouveau en lumière la question de l’asile en Europe. L’Union européenne et les États membres vont-ils regarder en priorité vers les États tiers voisins pour les aider à renforcer leurs capacités d’accueil et à prévenir d’éventuels mouvements migratoires vers l’Europe, et ce au détriment du droit d’asile ? Ni l’Europe, ni la France, qui va exercer prochainement la présidence tournante du Conseil de l’Union européenne, ne sont impuissantes. Avec des parlementaires, français et européens, ainsi qu’avec nos partenaires d’autres associations, nous proposons de débattre de questions cruciales : l’activation de la protection temporaire à l’échelle européenne, la place nouvelle à faire aux visas aux fins d’asile ; l’ouverture plus grande à la réunification familiale ; la solidarité intra-européenne ; sans oublier le sort des déboutés et des dublinés venant d’un pays où le retour est impossible. PROGRAMME 10h00-10h30Mots d’ouverture Jacques Maire, Député La République en Marche, secrétaire de la Commission d’enquête de l’Assemblée nationale sur les migrations ; Thierry Le Roy, Président de France terre d’asile. 10h30-11h30Première table-ronde : « Quelles solutions pour les personnes en besoin de protection en dehors de l’Europe ? » Paolo Artini, Représentant du Haut-Commissariat des Nations unies pour les réfugiés (HCR) en France ; Sylvie Guillaume, Députée européenne Groupe de l’Alliance progressiste des Socialistes et Démocrates au Parlement européen (S&D) ; Karl Kopp, Responsable du département Europe de ProAsyl (Allemagne) ; Hélène Thiollet, Chargée de recherche au CNRS et Filip Savatic. 11h30-11h45Pause11h45-12h45Seconde table-ronde : « Quelle solidarité intra-européenne en alternative au système de Dublin ? » Stella Dupont, Députée La République en Marche, secrétaire de la Commission d’enquête de l’Assemblée nationale sur les migrations ; Elsa Faucillon, Députée du Parti communiste français, membre de la Commission d’enquête de l’Assemblée nationale sur les migrations ; Eleonora Celoria, Avocate, membre de l’association ASGI (Italie) ; Thierry Le Roy, Président de France terre d’asile ; Un.e député.e du parti des Verts allemand (à confirmer). 12h45-13h00Mots de clôture Delphine Rouilleault, Directrice générale de France terre d’asile ; Jacques MaireS’inscrire
Transnational lives: the meanings and implications of living in two countries
Launching a special issue of Population, Space and Place
Time: Monday, 30 August 2021 15:00-16:00 Place: Online event
There are people who don’t live in a single country but lead transnational lives. They are an extremely diverse group, spanning divides in privileges, preferences, rights and motivations. In a new special issue of Population Space and Place, we examine the phenomenon of transnational living and explore it through a range of thematic and regional perspectives.
Join us for a launch webinar in which we present how transnational living matters — as a concept and a real-word phenomenon — and give your teasers of the articles included in the special issue.
As some countries have gotten over the first wave of the pandemic and are bracing themselves for a possible second wave, we are only starting to grapple with the impacts and the responses to this pandemic. One of many impacts we have seen so far were the COVID-19-related border closures, which limited free movement and thus have shaken the foundation of the European Union. Border closures took effect not only in Europe. Many migrants, as well as international students, were and are affected profoundly as they were not able to return and hence are trapped in their destination countries – often without income. Since many migrants work in critical sectors, such as the health care sector, the important role they play in the crisis response increases their exposure to the virus. Data from New York showed, that, due to income inequality and marginalization, migrants are overrepresented in neighborhoods most affected by the virus. Further, this pandemic makes existing inequalities more visible and it amplifies them as the strong and worldwide BLM protests show. However, we also experienced that things considered impossible until very recently, suddenly now are indeed possible. Nothing is set in stone and inevitable, we are able to not only to bounce back but to bounce forward to an improved state.
This conference still proposes to zoom deeper into people’s migration experiences by foregrounding how migration is connected to culture and language. We still intend to explore the nexus of migration, and culture in more depth by asking how migration is lived, experienced, mediated, and reflected in general and through everyday cultural, linguistic, and artistic practice. We are still interested in deepening our understanding of the complexity and diversity of migration experiences on the one hand, and the possibilities of connecting different migrant experiences and groups of people on the other. However, in light of the current developments, this cannot be achieved without extending our focus. Hence, for the 18th IMISCOE-Conference, we also invite your contributions on inequalities in general and on health and racial inequalities in particular.
Panels and papers will be grouped together thematically throughout the conference program

Conference fee for the online conference
We are excited to inform you that we can offer you a onetime only reduced conference fee for this year’s conference participation and one-year membership: Early bird: April 30-June 10, 2021
Discount fee (for Ph.D. candidates and scholars in a precarious situation only): € 65.
To be included in the conference program, presenters need to have registered by June 10, 2021. Presenters who fail to register by June 10, 2021, will be removed from the program.
Registration after July 2 or on the conference days is not possible.
The regular fee is the minimum required to cover the cost to organize the conference. The benevolent fee includes the solidarity support for the network.
All fees include a One-year IMISCOE membership and access to the online conference 2021. To learn more about the benefits associated with a membership of the IMISCOE-Network, please follow this link: https://www.imiscoe.org/about-imiscoe/members/becoming-a-member Another positive note that we would like to share with you in this message is that we will offset the carbon footprint of this year’s annual conference. €5 of your conference fee will go towards planting trees in the rainforests of Costa Rica. While video conferencing does emit less carbon than f2f-conferences, nothing has zero emissions and a digital conference is not automatically green. It is still difficult to calculate exactly how much carbon emissions videoconferences create, but there are estimates. For example:
A one-hour standard-definition video call consumes about 270 MB per person.
The standard-definition video calls would emit 0.6 kg of CO2.
