Episode 4 - Unpacking the "migrants are hard to reach/find" narrative

Have you ever heard statements like “We invited people from the migrant community but nobody showed up for our neighbourhood meeting” Or maybe something like, “It’s hard to find migrants that have the right skillset”? The harmful narrative that migrants are hard to reach and hard to find is widespread. But as our guests in this episode point out, there are effective ways to counter it.In this episode, our host Seden Anlar unpacks this narrative together with Selma Rassoul Project Manager at the PLACE Network and returning guest to the podcast Oliva Long, Managing Editor at the Migration Policy Group and author of the report Meaningful Participation of New Europeans in Policymaking. This podcast is hosted by Seden Anlar and produced by the New Europeans Initiative, a project of the Migration Policy Group. Funding for the podcast is provided by the Citizens, Equality, Rights and Values programme of the European Union. Views and opinions expressed are however those of the author(s) only.
