NEW REPORT! Transforming the field of migration through collaborative frameworks

The age of migration is unfolding, and we see it as changemaking in action. Across the sectors, there is a desire for new approaches that dismantle siloes, bring innovation, involve final users in decision-making, and develop collective solutions. Thus, Hello Europe launched its first ecosystem accelerator to foster collaboration in this field. Driven by a core group from Ashoka, Startup Migrants, SINGA, Embark Project, Zalando, Steelcase, THSN, OECD, Westphalian University, and others, this multi-stakeholder collective identified root causes, and came up with shared recommendations.

Read the report and meet us at Ashoka Changemaker Summit in Brussels on Nov 29^th to join this effort.
