WIN-WIN SOLUTIONS TO EUROPE’s MIGRATION PROBLEMS – EUROPEAN YOUNG LEADERS – MAY 2016
Europeans are waking to the scale of the refugee crisis, but the EU and its member governments have yet to forge credible responses. Tensions across Europe, from Greece to Germany to Sweden, demand realistic and comprehensive EU-wide policies ranging from social integration to job creation, but the first step will be to change the narrative shaping public opinion from threat to asset. What role should private sector employers and entrepreneurs play to speed aging Europe’s integration of refugees?
The panel that answered these questions was moderated by Danae Bezantakou, Managing Director of Navigator Shipping Consultant & 2014 European Young Leader. Introductory remarks were given by Sandra Pratt, European Commission Expert on Immigration and Asylum (1999-2007) & Sander Loones, Member of the European Parliament.
The Seminar was held on Thursday 19th May at the Second Chance School in the northern suburbs of Marseille.
