Political participation of migrants and their descendants is key for the well-being of modern societies, our democracies and the stability of our economics. Promoting an inclusive society on a democratic basis is in line with the EU‘s fundamental values, the Charter of Fundamental Rights and the European Pillar of Social Rights. It emphasizes that “The European way of life is an inclusive one”.

As European societies are not yet able to fulfil the promise of integration being migration still closely linked to discrimination, a main goal of the EMVI project is the sensitisation of the host societies on the importance of inclusion and political participation of all groups, among the partner countries.

The project EMVI  aims at enabling and empowering the participation of migrants in the design and implementation of policies that directly affect them – in Austria, Germany, Greece, Italy and Slovenia – and to bring their issues to local, national and EU decision makers. Actions include the development of several practical tools and a number of activities, tested and piloted in each country. For information about our international EMVI activities you can visit our EU website.

moveGLOBAL e. V. is the only association that implements the project in Germany with the cooperation of the District Office Mitte of Berlin. We are an umbrella organisation for migrant organisations in Berlin.

The project is funded by the European Union through the Asylum, Migration and Integration Fund (AMIF).
